Cheerful face to face

Como fazer esta atividade

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.

Por que funciona

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).

Dicas para os pais

Keep your facial expressions warm and genuine. Respond positively when your child makes sounds or movements. Take breaks if your child looks away, then reengage when they're ready.
