Hoe doe je deze activiteit
As you care for your baby, put words to what they might be feeling. Say things like 'You seem happy right now' or 'I think you're getting tired.' You can do this during any routine moment.
Your baby does not understand the words yet, but they're learning that feelings have names. This early emotional vocabulary builds their future ability to express themselves.
Waarom het werkt
Labeling emotions verbally helps infants begin developing emotional awareness even before they can speak. This early exposure to emotional vocabulary supports the development of emotional expression and regulation skills that lead to higher emotional intelligence in adulthood (Goleman, 1995).
Tips voor ouders
Use a calm, gentle voice even when labeling difficult emotions like frustration. Match your facial expression to the emotion you're naming.
You don't need to be perfect. Your best guess helps your baby learn.
