Children are bundles of emotion as they explore their world, observing the significant adults in their lives and learning what is acceptable and expected of them in becoming citizens of their culture and society. Love, joy, disappointment , jealousy , shame, guilt, ecstasy , desire, fear— these are just a few of the emotions we all have learned to feel, express, or repress in one way or another. Human beings are complex and diverse in how we learn to deal with feelings, starting in our families of origin and expanding into the society at large.
