Emotional development
When babies are born, they already have emotional communication abilities. Initially, attachment to their mother develops through innate behaviours. Crying, sucking or grasping allow an infant to maintain physical contact with their mother and feel safe. At the start of a newborn’s life, they are completely dependent on adults to satisfy their primary needs. Their sensory capacities are illustrated in their interactions with adults: they seek physical contact and caresses, and are calmed by their parents’ voices. From the third week of life, the mother and her baby tend to look at one another. From a very early age, the infant’s smile indicates their pleasure at being in contact with other people. Social smiling becomes selective at the age of three months.
If the people around the newborn respond appropriately to their demands, they will develop a feeling of security and a positive self-image, which will enable them to acquire new skills. However, if their needs are not satisfied, they will experience anxious attachment, lack self-confidence and mistrust others.
As infants grow up, they gradually become more independent and less attached to their mother. For this process of separation and physical distancing to go well, the child and their parents need to be emotionally in tune. In other words, successful detachment requires healthy attachment.
At the age of between two and three months, the first signs of dialogue emerge, with alternating roles. At the age of around six months, the baby’s ability to imitate sounds allows this dialogue to develop further. At this age, newborns still look for contact with their mother and begins to do so more insistently. They also take a greater interest in their body and the objects around them. Finally, they look more closely at adults’ faces and use cries to express unhappiness and anxiety.
As children can distinguish between familiar and unfamiliar faces between the age of eight and nine months, at this stage they will express their worries around strangers.
