Writing from observation.
Non-verbal communication is between two or more persons through the use of facial expressions, hand movements, body language, postures and gestures. Like animals, humans also use non-verbal communication. Observe people around you and give a few instances of non-verbal communication and what they mean.
People wave or shake their hands to say hello or greet someone. Babies smile when they look at their mother, indicating recognition. They tend to cry when they are with a stranger, indicating insecurity. A smile indicates happiness while a frown indicates sadness or disappointment. While speaking if the opposite person does not show a direct eye contact, it could mean that the person either is ignoring what is being said or he/she lacks confidence. Gently patting someone’s back indicates appreciation.
