| Research Abstract |
Child abuse researches have revealed that a maternal emotional availability is important in preventing child abuse. Mothers' gazes and behavioral responses to their babies were studied longitudinally at 2 or 3 days, 1 month, and 4 months after baby born. At 4 months, when the babies expressed social smiles, mothers gaze at the babies' faces and touched the babies' cheeks more frequently than at other time points. These results suggest that the support for improving a mother's poor response up to a social smile appearance is required.
