Description and Message:
Please help me with this question. i have tried to research different body languages but have been unsuccessful.If anyone can give me some more suggestions i would appreciate it. Thanks

I would just add:
Tiredness - lying down, not joining in with activities, being grumpy
Happy - joining in with all activities, talking a lot, hugging
Need for attention - doing positive and negative things (being good or naughty just to get attention.
Tell you something - calling out, interrupting.
Hope you can add these

Thank you so much for your help. This is very useful.
