Notice and affirm all the ways toddlers express their emotions and help them develop an emotion vocabulary.
Happiness, joy, contentment, excitement. In I See You Smile, a caregiver notices and acknowledges when their toddler uses body language to communicate these feelings, guiding adults at home to do the same. The rhyming text and bouncy rhythm engage little ones and make building an emotional vocabulary fun.
