Come svolgere questa attività
Hold your child close so your faces are about eight to twelve inches apart. When your child shows an emotion, gently mirror it back with your own face. If they smile, smile warmly back. If they look concerned, soften your expression with care. This simple exchange helps your child begin to understand emotions through your responsive presence.
Perché funziona
When you respond sensitively to your child's emotional states, you build the foundation for empathy and emotional understanding. Research shows that parental empathy creates neural templates for how children will later understand and respond to emotions in themselves and others (Hoffman, 2000). This mirroring helps your child learn that their feelings matter and are understood.
Consigli per i genitori
Keep your movements slow and gentle. Your child is learning to read faces, so exaggerated expressions can be overwhelming.
If your child looks away, give them a moment. They may need a short break before reconnecting.
