Why parental emotions about child's spontaneous emotions get internalized as meta-emotions, at all?
It seems there is a sub-level at the emotional level that allows for their internalization. Why has this emotional sub-level evolved in the course of human evolution is interesting question. Probably members of species that evolved it had better survival rates. |
