An
expressive child and a responsive parent is a prize-winning combination for
toddlerhood. It’s a win-win situation and it enables the parent to shape behavior
positively right at the outset. This sequence becomes quite easy to understand
as below:
- The newborn expresses needs to his mother
- The responsiveness of the mothers builds trust
- The now infant learns to express needs appropriately
- Infants grow to become bigger toddlers with bigger needs
- These toddlers know the meaning of feelings and how to express
- The toddlers then get better equipped to express themselves to others
