When a little child experiences unconditional love and acceptance from mum and dad, there is the embodiment of true joy. The little child receives the message that it is safe for me to be me, here with you. And not only is it safe, but I can see that you delight in me despite the circumstances. In this example, we see a truly joy-filled child.
