From what I remember, when children are born, they're born with a very underdeveloped brain. The prefrontal cortex to I believe isn't present but I could be wrong, otherwise it's very small. The self conscious emotions, pride, shame, guilt, envy, remorse, embarrassment, hubris, and many more come from the prefrontal cortex. As it develops over a very long period of time, so do the emotions. I remember that embarrassment doesn't typically develop until you're approximately 7-years-old.
