"Educational" fascination of face
Attracted in this way by movement and contrasting areas, babies are fascinated by the human face, which is usually very lively!
In particular, they fix their gaze on the eyes and the top of the forehead.
By observing faces, the signals that they send and to which they respond, babies compile an enormous amount of knowledge…
They learn to know others and to recognise themselves, as well as discovering language and emotions.
“We speak to the eyes much better than to the ears” (Rousseau)
The eyes are a powerful means of communication and emotional exchange.
Visual contact between parent and child is essential in emotional development: looking at babies makes them feel secure and cherished with love…and parents feel themselves really becoming parents as their baby looks back at them.
