Young children express their emotions much more openly than most adults. In the playground, they
often (1) neglect and ridicule the 'weaker' children and 'social misfits'. When
they're successful at something, they (2) grimace openly. When they're taking
horrible medicine, they (3) conduct in a way that adults rarely do. When they're
(4) impatient, you know about it immediately. The (5) gloat
a young child can experience during a nightmare often seems far more extreme than the fear adults
have. Children's emotions are often very unpredictable too. When something angers them, they
(6) mock instantly. A young child can go from peaceful (7) terror
to extreme anger and back again in just a couple of minutes. If you give a small child a pet, they'll love it
for a day or two, but then they might completely (8) snap it. All of this is for many
reasons. Firstly, humans have to learn how to (9) contentment and control their
emotions. And that takes time. Secondly, humans have to learn how to (10) handle
themselves within a society. That also takes many years. Indeed, many adults still have a lot to learn when
it comes to that.
