Summary

Caregivers of young infants are often well practiced in detecting and interpreting the presence or absence of infant emotion. This is particularly true in the case of negative emotions, motivating caregivers to take on the mantel of detective. Why is the baby crying? Is he/she hungry? Cold? Too hot? Angry? Gassy? Tired? Bored? A caregiver’s need to search for clues reflects infants’ rather limited communicative repertoire, coupled with a restricted behavioral toolbox. Over the first 2 years of life, children’s expression and experience of emotion becomes more expansive, providing greater insight into the cause of any one emotional experience and the needed response. However, even at this point, parents and caregivers play an important role in modulating infants’ emotional experiences, since much of emotion regulation is first implemented externally until the child can internalize and develop effective stand-alone regulatory responses.
