Birth Infants’ emotions consist largely of two global arousal states: attraction to pleasant
stimulation and withdrawal from unpleasant stimulation.
2 – 3 months Infants engage in social smiling and respond in kind to adults’ facial expressions
3 – 5 months Laughter at active stimuli emerges. Infants perceive facial expression as organized
patterns and can match the emotion in voices and faces.
6 – 8 months Expressions of basic emotions are well-organized and vary meaningfully with
environmental events. Infants start to become angry more often and in a wider
range of situations. Fear, especially stranger anxiety, begins to rise.
Attachment to familiar caregivers is clearly evident, and separation anxiety
appears. Infants use familiar caregivers as a secure base for exploration.
8 – 12 months Understanding of the meaning of others’ emotional expressions improves, and
social referencing appears. Infants laugh at subtle elements of surprise.
18 – 24 months Self-conscious emotions of shame, embarrassment, guilt, and pride emerge. A
vocabulary for talking about feelings develops rapidly, and emotional self-regulation
improves. Toddlers appreciate that others’ emotional reactions may differ from their
own. First signs of empathy appear.
