What are some of the earliest self-conscious emotions to emerge in children, and when do they appear? Why are these emotions not present from birth?

What will be an ideal response?


The ideal answer should include:
1. The earliest self-conscious emotions to emerge are empathy, shame, embarrassment, pride, and guilt, and they typically emerge between 18 and 24 months.
2. These emotions are not present from birth because they require understanding of the self as an autonomous being. Self-awareness does not develop until 18 to 24 months, which corresponds with emergence of self-conscious emotions.
