Comment faire cette activité
Hold your child close at eye level and smile warmly while making eye contact. Use a gentle, upbeat voice to narrate what you see. Let your child observe your positive expressions and respond to their cues. This simple interaction builds the foundation for optimism through your joyful presence.
Pourquoi ça marche
When infants experience consistent positive facial expressions and responsive interactions, they develop expectations that the world is generally positive and their actions matter. This early foundation of responsive caregiving builds neural pathways associated with optimistic outlooks. Research shows optimism is consistently linked to higher levels of life satisfaction and better health outcomes throughout life (Carver, C. S., Scheier, M. F., & Segerstrom, S. C. (2010). Optimism. Clinical Psychology Review, 30(7), 879-889).
Conseils pour les parents
Keep your facial expressions warm and genuine.
