1-3 months: can recognize voices that they have heard before.
3 months: joyful kicks, coos, laughter and gurgles.
7-8 months: babies cry when left and can not see anyone around them or if a stranger is near.

4. Babies Expressing Love
First love (s):
A) care giver who spends lots of time with them
B) Children they can see every day
C) Objects that they may have
Quick Reflection: Did you have an object you were especially attached to? Explain your memories.

5. Fear Fear as an emotion occurs at around six months.
To be fearful, babies must know they can be hurt.
Quick Reflection: Can you remember one of the earliest times that you felt fear as a child?

6. Fear: Two Types
1. Fear of the unknown: adult strangers, a new bed, or a sudden movement. They also fear different sounds, such as the crack of thunder or a screaming siren.
2. Fear learned from direct experiences: Soap in the eye, doctor’s office, snapping dog—anything because of a negative past experience.

7. Fear What adults say and how they act affect babies’ fears.
Example 1: Adults who act or look fearful in a storm, will cause children to be fearful.
Example 2: Adults who tell babies that many situations can hurt them.
How do you think an adult can instill enough fear to increase a child’s safety and still avoid making a child overly afraid?

8. Anxiety Anxiety is a fear of a possible future event.
Anxiety is seen in babies most often between 10 and 12 months.
Separation Anxiety: caused by the fear that loved ones who leave them will not return.

9. Anxiety
Separation anxiety in babies younger than two years may be due to the following:
A) Not understanding why the parents must leave.
B)Babies do not have memories of past events
C)Babies need someone to fulfill their needs.
D)Young babies cannot express their needs to others.
What ways would you try to relieve an infant’s feelings of separation anxiety.

10. Anger
Infant Rage: occurs when the baby is distressed. It is not anger derived from feeling.

8-10 months: Infants direct their anger toward a certain person or object.

11. Anger—Babies show anger when…
A) Held against their will/Being left in a crib
B) Toys are taken from them
C) Being distracted when they want their needs met

12. Anger
Babies express their anger in physical ways because they lack language skills.
Some babies with calm dispositions seem to show little anger during the first year.
Babies whose moods are more negative may show much more anger.
Meeting the baby’s needs quickly, talking in a quiet voice, and holding the baby can all control a baby’s anger.
Are there similarities between adults and infants in the underlying reasons for anger? Do adults, like infants, show a variation in the frequency and intensity of their anger?

13. Group Discussion: How are Emotions useful?
Compare the usefulness of emotions to those emotions that can hinder abilities to work and play to the fullest.

14. Reflection
Babies’ temperaments seem to shape their personalities. How would you describe your temperament? Have you had these characteristics for a long time? Do others in your family have the same temperament?
