Regular and comfortable sleep is one of the most important physical needs of babies. Balanced nutrition and breastfeeding also make it easier for children to be healthy and to be happy.
The most important source of happiness for babies is their parents’ love. Feeling loved by their mother and father, the baby can develop a feeling of belonging and confidence in a healthy way. These constitute the basic emotional needs of every human-being.
For happiness of children in the age of growth and development, the share of learning, experience, curiosity, and practice play great roles. The baby will try to get their own experience as their dependence on the mother decreases. Liberation in a safe environment is important for the development of a happy personality with the support of their mother in this new life where the baby begins slowly.
Respect and approval are among babies’ other emotional needs. Little they may be, but if they want to choose the toy to play, for example, their decision should be respected and supported. This will also affect the baby's personal development as well as his happiness.
