This study examines whether “mother’s acting behavior (imitating characters in a picture-book of onomatopoeia) and questioning (questioning the child about a picture-book) promotes the expression of emotions during mother-child interactions. In this study, the participants were 5 mother-child dyads (3 boys and 2 girls). Researchers observed a scene of picture-book reading every month, and calculated rate of appearance of mother –child behaviors. The observation period was from the 6 month since the birth of the child until the 24 month. The “mother’s acting behavior” was associated with the rate of the child’s interaction with the picture-book, such as touching a picture and non-verbal utterances. Furthermore, questioning was associated with the number of times a child pointed at the book, uttered a meaningful word, or imitated a character from the book. Results show that the mother’s acting behavior promoted non-verbal mother-child interaction from the age of 7 month, and questioning promoted verbal communication between mother and child after the child was 11 months old. It is assumed that non-verbal communication between mother and child during infancy encourages positive emotional interaction. Furthermore, it is revealed that mother used behavior properly in association with a degree of child’s development.
