At birth : Primary emotion present at birth with vigorous body expressions usually due to hunger, colic or other internal cause.
At 6 months : It is greatly replaced by milder expression of fussing or vocalization.
During preschool : It is seen less, only for the reactions of physical pain as he is thwarted by his environment.
During school years : Pressure helps him to outgrow the crying habit which deceases rapidly. After this till 15 years old, crying occurs very seldom.
In young adults : Ultimately it becomes a limited quiet crying in private only for reasons of grief or other intense emotions.
