We know that a newborn's main way to communicate is to cry, yet we still look at it as something to be "fixed". Once that infant becomes a walking, talking toddler, we sometimes expect them to process emotion the way we do, rather than the way they have always done: through crying.
In fact, studies have found that our brains are hard-wired to have an instant reaction to a crying child, making us more attentive and ready to help - and fast! A crying infant triggers our fight or fight response, increasing our heart rate and pushing us into action . . . even if that child is not our own.
