Validated list of emotions for children by age

Parenting Asked on October 26, 2021

I am writing stories about emotions for children age 5-10. I would like to use emotions that are relevant to children’s emotional development in that range. For example, I heard from discussions with psychologists that shame is a learned emotion around age 7. If that’s true, I prefer not to include it in my stories.

To know which emotions or feelings to include, I thought of the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test, a validated and benchmarked tool that lets researchers make statements such as "70% of children of age 4 know the word ‘boat’".

Does a similar list exist for emotions, validated by age of children?
