    Babies are definitely much more aware of body language at a young age. They’ll cry even before learning words if you express that they should cry. Example: they hit themselves with a shovel you run over, worried, and ask if they’re okay, they think “oh I was supposed to be in pain” and will cry. If you’re chill in that situation the kid might not even be aware they could reasonably cry in that situation

      Oh yeah, that has happened with my son 😂. Like he starts crying when you go over to check if he’s OK and hug him. The same thing happens and I don’t do that, he just carries on doing whatever he wanted to do 😂… or forgets what it was he wanted to do (the hit interrupts his thought process 😂) and just does something else 😂.
