Toddlers start developing emotional awareness around nine months, relying on caregivers for regulation. Between ages two and five, they learn to manage emotions independently, which supports academic success and social skills. Their strong reactions stem from rapid brain growth and limited language. Parents can help by creating a calm environment, teaching emotion words, and using simple calming techniques. Consistent routines and patience are key.
