When I watched these videos on the two different experiments, I noticed that both of them were pretty much about nonverbal communication between a parent, in this case a mother, and a child. These experiments were showing the viewers that facial expression of emotions have a large impact on an infant. In the first study, the experiment showed that when the mother didn’t show an expression back her child, the child got upset and cried. So this shows that children can sense expressions from their caregiver. I think that this is something so important for parents to realize. If I were to give parents some advice, I would tell them that interacting and showing expression with their infant because it is really important for their child’s socio-emotional development.
