Smiles are the first building blocks for healthy relationships

Your child reads your face and uses your facial expressions as a guide to her world. When your children gets lots of smiles, it can tell her a lot about her world – that it’s a safe, secure place where people respond to her needs, for example.

Smiles are the first building blocks for healthy relationships. And healthy relationships are crucial for your child’s early development. Through relationships, children learn how to think, understand, communicate and show emotions. Giving and receiving smiles are also the first steps your child takes in learning how to be social and have good relationships
