 "takeaways": [
  "Almost all young children usually smile and laugh (99%), are affectionate with the people who care for them (96%) and are curious about new things (96%).",
  "Bouncing back quickly when things don't go their way is the clear outlier: 83% usually or always do, so about one child in six usually doesn't yet.",
  "79% show all four signs — so bouncing back is what most often keeps a child out of the \"flourishing\" group."
