Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Newborns are not yet capable of self-soothing or intentionally averting their gaze in distressing situations. They rely heavily on the presence and actions of caregivers to regulate their emotions. This includes being soothed and distracted by other people when feeling upset or disturbed. The "fight or flight" response is a primitive reaction to danger and is not typically seen as a means of emotion regulation in newborns.
