The formation of an intelligent, happy and well-integrated adult can be related to the affection received from birth.
Small gestures and attitudes such as talking to the baby, exchanging glances, smiling, caressing him provide intimacy between mother and child. As this is the first bond established in a person's life, it has a fundamental factor in building the future, emotional and intellectual development.
These attitudes favor the exchange, as this act of dedication by the mother is matched by the baby in the form of facial or bodily expressions and can be perceived by attentive eyes. It is a necessary stimulation for brain development, as it needs exercise to develop.
The development of intelligence to language, self-perception, feelings, reactions and capabilities are skills provided by the affective interaction between mother and child, which involves smiles, looks and movements bodily.
