Babies can pick up any negative emotions.
If you’re having a bad day and snap or you’re worried or
feeling tense, the baby will react to this.
Bitterness and mistrust will affect the babies development.
If you are feeling overwhelmed go to a separate room and
let it out in private – DO NOT ARGUE INFRONT OF
CHILDREN – if at all possible.

learn about it.
Emotional development involves recognizing and expressing feelings, while social development focuses on interacting with others. Infants display emotions like pain, contentment, delight, interest, disgust, joy, sadness, and anger. Attachment, as seen in the bond between child and caregiver, is crucial for building trust. Communication through vocal sounds, facial expressions, eye contact, and touch helps fulfill infants' emotional and physical needs.
