A huge part of communication is what’s not being spoken. Facial expressions are extremely complex and can change the entire meaning of a sentence. Children need to learn to understand it and use it or there will have trouble navigating the adult world.
Take this simple sentence:
Have a good day.
If it’s said happily with a smile, then the person wants you to have a good day.
If it’s just casual the it’s just a general expression, akin to a goodbye.
If you get an annoyed undertone, then the person is looking for a polite way to end the conversation they no longer wish to have.
