Emotional Distress and Control in Young Children.

Kopp, Claire B.

New Directions for Child Development, n55 p41-56 Spr 1992

Examined infant crying and resistant behavior in response to requests to clean up toys. Infants' irritability and outbursts peaked at 18-24 months. Although crying was a relatively rare phenomenon in the third year, resistance behavior was common. Decreases in crying may be linked to acquisition of language. (BG)
