Course overview
Lesson Overview

2.3 – The Power of Eye Contact and Body Language: Communication begins long before words are spoken, and children often read what they see before they hear what you say. Eye contact signals presence, reassurance, and interest, while body language communicates safety or tension. When you kneel to your child’s level, your posture says, “I’m with you.” A calm face and gentle nods show openness even when discipline is needed. Children mirror what they observe; they learn empathy and confidence through your nonverbal cues. Avoiding eye contact or showing frustration teaches avoidance and fear. The power of body language lies in its honesty—it reveals emotion even when words fail. By maintaining soft expressions and open gestures, you tell your child that it’s safe to speak and safe to feel. Over time, these physical cues create emotional trust that no speech can replace. Eye contact and body language together build the unspoken language of love.
