Does your face light up when your child walks into the room?

This is actually another person’s question from another site, and the information specifically referred to alienated children and blended homes. I can’t find the link (but I’ll keep looking.)

Anyhow, the article basically said that if your face does not light up when your child comes into the room, the child may perceive that you love them less or do not love them at all. Even if you say that you do and do other things to show it. The simple lack of a happy expression when you see them might be enough to make a child feel like you don’t love them as much as someone whose face does light up at the sight of them.

I actually had to to think about this, because I’m not very good with expressing affection. After I thought about it, I’m positive that my face does light up… but it got me to thinking.

What about you? Does your face light up when you see your kids?
