I'd say children generally smile more than adults, mainly because they haven't yet learned to filter their emotions like we do. Kids express joy immediately - when they see a puppy on the street or get an ice cream, their whole face lights up. I notice this with my little cousin in Hangzhou - she'll giggle at the simplest things, like blowing bubbles or chasing pigeons in the park. Adults do smile too, of course, but often it's more controlled - we might hold back at work or in formal situations. That natural, unguarded happiness seems to fade as we take on more responsibilities.
