Say that you are sitting quietly in a chair. At least, casual observers would say that is what you are doing. You can still be working yourself into an emotional state while sitting there. Isn't that an act on your part? If your emotional state becomes extremely intense it may begin to outwardly show. The point is that we don't act first and then feel an emotion; we don't feel an emotion and then act. They go together. This is useful clinically because people can learn to modify behaviors when necessary in order to lessen and minimize uncomfortable heightened emotions.

I'm assuming we're talking about emotional needs . Okay so some emotional needs for a toddler or, they need to feel secure, they need to be honest with the consequences and with the promises.

They need to feel loved, parents can ensure the security by being consistent in their availability, .
