Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Infants at eleven to twelve months fear being: separated form their parents and are unable to see others’ views. Emotional development of infants compares with social development in that: both affect behavior toward others.

Detailed explanation-2: -At 11-12 months, babies communicate in many ways and show many emotions. They might also feed themselves, take first steps and more. Talking and listening, singing, reading, moving, playing outside and eating healthy foods are all good for baby learning and development.

Detailed explanation-3: -During this first year, your baby will form special bonds with caring adults, explore the world around them by touching, looking and engaging within safe spaces with caregivers. They will also learn more about emotions by watching you, sharing a smile and calming with your help.

Detailed explanation-4: -Infants begin showing a spontaneous “social smile” around age 2 to 3 months, and begin to laugh spontaneously around age 4 months. In addition, between ages 2 and 6 months, infants express other feelings such as anger, sadness, surprise, and fear. Between ages 5 and 6 months, babies begin to exhibit stranger anxiety.

Detailed explanation-5: -Your baby is very interested in conversations. You’ll often hear baby’s first word around this age. Baby is still mainly babbling but might try out 1-2 words they understand, especially ‘dada’ or ‘mama’. But if your baby isn’t talking yet, they’ll still communicate with you using body language like waving and pointing.
