Joy: when your child is bursting with happiness
Everyone knows joy – and it's still worth giving it a name. Kids who can name their joy also notice more easily what is good for them.
What's behind this feeling
Joy shows what matters to your child. It tingles in the tummy, makes legs bouncy, and wants to be shared.
What can help
Ask when you see it: "What made you so happy just now?" And tell each other at bedtime what was lovely today. That's how a moment becomes a memory.
