| Experience: Watching for Smiles |
|
 |
Let's Get Started:
1. Grinning will usually turn into smiles after a short period of time. The caregiver should engage the child so that the smiling response becomes more frequent.
2. The smiling reflex may begin to exhibit itself when the child is sleeping. It is not uncommon to see an infant smiling in her sleep. Although this may be a reflex or the result of a pleasant dream, the child is beginning to have this physical response.
3. When an infant begins to have eye contact and engages the person talking to her, the caregiver will begin to see slight grins. |
