Answer 1

All of the above

Explanation:

• Adds pleasure: Positive emotions like joy and curiosity directly enrich a child’s day-to-day life and motivate exploration.
• Form of communication: Before developing language, children rely entirely on emotional expressions (like crying or smiling) to signal their needs to carers.
• Source of evaluation: A child’s emotional experiences and how others react to them help them form self-worth and understand social boundaries.
