Abstract
Recent thinking about early emotional development in a context useful for pediatricians and other clinicians is reviewed in this chapter. Important functions of emotions are that they help define individuality, motivate approach or withdrawal from a situation, and communicate with caregivers. Emotional development in the first years of life may be seen as a series of predictable stepwise transitions when changes are pervasive and involve major reorientation for children and families.
