The calm

I just wanted to comment on how I've noticed that my nephew responds to my calm quite well, and not to a tense or anxious, forced state. I also noticed that he responds really well when I talk to him in Korean. I suppose the words I say would sound really silly trying to say them in English. They would sound like, "Who is this one who came out this cute this way" and with a respectful tone at the end. I also say things like, "So you have been well" in an honorific form in conversation with him and a lot of affirmations that sound more authoritative in Korean. He does this thing where he makes an "o" with his mouth and puts on the most sincerest eyes and makes these sounds back to you. It's quite funny. I talk a lot to him and he talks a lot back.
