I agree that we can't assume that their head is a calm place. It's probably still safe to argue that the range/intensity of emotions/feelings they have is noticeably below those adults (e.g. lust). If you agree, then I'd shift to a weaker statement: they have a stronger potential [than adults] for being calm, but with little to no conscious incentive to exploit it, in general. That is, assuming calmness is proportional to emotions/feelings. Out of curiosity, I've googled "emotions innate": there doesn't seem to be a status-quo [0][1]. AFAIK, imitation is crucial for learning, but I'd be surprised if nothing had been left from the mother's womb.
