Several months after birth, they are able to tell between such different expressions as anger, boredom, and happiness. Their ability to distinguish between these different facial expressions will help them later in life to interpret how people are feeling. Check out board books exploring facial expressions to help them develop empathy: https://bastrop.biblionix.com/catalog/?st=13B2DFCDD0383F7A6DF96C3E4E7EDFFB]]> 2017-10-28 22:40:59 UTC https://padlet.com/badietrich12/hcye020hq97h/wish/201445486 badietrich12 https://padlet.com/badietrich12/hcye020hq97h/wish/201445640 Where ever you are, start pointing to signs and reading them to your baby. ]]> 2017-10-28 22:44:21 UTC https://padlet.com/badietrich12/hcye020hq97h/wish/201445640 badietrich12 https://padlet.com/badietrich12/hcye020hq97h/wish/201445679 Read often, but keep storytimes to a positive experience.
