In this chapter, we focus on understanding what different types of smiling mean and the way they are coordinated into communicative messages before the development of speech. We begin with a brief developmental overview of 2 smiling in infancy, and explore its ramifications for the meaning of smiles in general. This is followed by a discussion of the meaning of different types of infant smiles and their similarities and differences from adult smiles. Finally, we explore how smiles are coordinated with other expressive behaviors in early interaction and the insight this provides into joyful emotional processes.
