Obviously, physical, mental and even emotional traits can be passed. Often times purely genetically, since even though they weren't taught they exist in the child.
I've read articles claiming even tiny babies can pick up moods and attitudes of the people (family) around them. You might be teaching the kids things you don't even realize.
I don't know if it's true for children, but I've seen it in animals for sure.
If kids can do this then why couldn't they put together combos of emotion. If one parent has an emotion that is usually paired with the other parent having another emotion then when the first appears they would expect the second. Sort of a learned response. I'm just theorizing here but it seems possible.
