Warum es funktioniert
When infants experience consistent positive responses to their attempts at communication, they develop foundational expectations that their actions matter and produce good outcomes. This early learning shapes optimistic thinking patterns that research shows lead to better health and life satisfaction later in life (Carver, C. S., Scheier, M. F., & Segerstrom, S. C. (2010). Optimism. Clinical Psychology Review, 30(7), 879-889.).
Tipps für Eltern
Keep your facial expressions bright and welcoming. Your child is learning to read your emotions.
Respond quickly when your child initiates contact. This builds their expectation that the world is responsive and positive.
Use a gentle, upbeat voice even during routine moments like diaper changes or getting dressed.
