Waarom het werkt
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).
