According to Hochschild, then, it is not enough to ‘have feelings’: in order to be brought into play, we must reflexively ‘experience’ our feelings, which we do when we try to ‘get in touch’ with our feeling, when we try to ‘feel our feelings’.…

The first instance of physical development was in observation two when children were playing outside. Children were climbing the playground and running around in the play area.
