Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Emotions do not all emerge at the same time. Primary emotions (e.g., fear, anger, sadness, interest, and joy) appear in the first year. Secondary emotions (e.g., embarrassment, guilt, and shame) are usually expressed by the end of the second year of life.

Detailed explanation-2: -Negative emotions-like sadness, anger, loneliness, jealousy, self-criticism, fear, or rejection-can be difficult, even painful at times. That’s especially true when we feel a negative emotion too often, too strongly, or we dwell on it too long. Negative emotions are impossible to avoid, though.

Detailed explanation-3: -Emotional regulation refers to children’s abilities to identify and manage their feelings. As in every aspect of development, emotional regulation begins with caregiver relationships. Attentive caregivers who consistently meet the needs of children set the foundation for healthy emotional regulation.

Detailed explanation-4: -The most internal factor influencing a child’s capacity for self-regulation is comprised of the child’s biology, genetics, and temperament, which contribute to individual differences in self-regulation.
