When Dr. Sears writes about raising an expressive child, I’m fairly certain that he’s not urging parents to nurture their child’s ability to make faces, but I’m also pretty sure that he’d be okay with such encouragement and practice because facial expressions often serve as windows to our emotions. We’re thankful – and admittedly, sometimes challenged – to have a child who’s not afraid to show and express to us how she’s feeling.
