Baby smile development indicators

When to smile: Babies usually start to smile between the 10th and 20th day after birth, or even earlier, and will laugh out loud around three months old. The smile of infants and young children is an instinctive emotional response. Don't ignore the baby's smile, and make him smile often.

Induce your child to smile: Smiling is a way of showing physical comfort and is also the beginning of a child's communication with others. The best way to guide a baby to smile is to let him look at someone's face. In addition, it is very important for parents to give positive responses to infants and young children's smiles in a timely manner.

Revealing body signals: Infants and young children with abnormal vision begin to smile later. In addition, the age at which a baby starts smiling is usually one of the important indicators for judging pronunciation.

Baby smile intelligence relationship

Discovering smart children: Through observations on brain development and neural structure, it was found that the earlier a child learns to smile, the smarter he or she will be and the better his or her expressive ability will be.

Newborn baby smiles: When you are in contact with a newborn baby, you will be easily attracted by the smile that appears on the child's face. This kind of smile is very subtle, and it appears for no reason when there is no one to play with it, so it is also called "divine smile".

Precious and rare smile: The smile of a newborn baby is sudden and silent, just like a flash in the pan. It can be described as a flash of lightning. Perhaps it is precisely because of the fast speed and timing that it is even more precious. Of course, it is difficult for us to capture the child's smile at its best.

Physiological reflex smile: sleep smile, inner smile or reflex smile, etc. These smiles have nothing to do with the stimulation of external factors. Most of them occur during sleep. It is just a physiological presentation and an unconscious smile, so it is also called "spontaneous smile".

Reasons why babies smile

Emotional communication resonance: This kind of smile can also produce emotional resonance. When the baby is 1 to 2 months old, when the parents talk to them and smile, the child will also smile in response, and the mother's soprano voice and the father's bass voice can guide and induce the child to smile.

The child laughs heartily: After two months, the baby's smile becomes more obvious, extending from the mouth to the entire face, which is very cute, so people especially like to tease the baby to make him laugh. The laughter at this stage is caused by external stimuli, so it is an "induced smile".

Expressing happy feelings: Smiling is a way for children to express their happiness when communicating with others. They also use this method to win the love of parents and others, build emotional connections with important people in their lives, and present emotional interaction. Making babies laugh is very beneficial to their mental health. A study once found that the earlier babies are made to laugh, the smarter they are.
