Following the abuse case at a daycare in Ariel, a body language expert explains how parents can identify signs of distress in toddlers who still struggle to express themselves verbally. The article details five behavioral patterns: tense muscle tone or freezing, micro-expressions of fear or withdrawal, self-soothing mechanisms such as touching the face or stroking, eye movement to the left and downward indicating internal emotional processing, and sudden changes in sleep patterns.
