Multimodal depiction of the surrounding\u003cbr\u003eworld helps the child to better conceptualise, objectify, and reify abstract\u003cbr\u003enotions. Even before children learn to talk, they activate their soft skills, the so-called\u003cbr\u003elife\/human competences or social skills, and they employ multimodal communication\u003cbr\u003epertaining to gestures and sounds in order to interact. Therefore, when knowledge\u003cbr\u003eof the brain and body intertwines with social and emotional intelligence, it\u003cbr\u003efosters human dialogue and it enhances our communication.
