Talking to kids

How do I say in french "your laughter and smile make this world a better place"

Keeping in mind that this is said to Kids not to lover. I just couldn't figure out how to say it.

Well, it can be translated by : ton rire et ton sourire rendent ce monde meilleur, but i don't see anyone saying that in everyday life.

Merci encore Ed. Well, when you talk to your little niece or nephew about 2 to 3 years old but I do think that sometimes things are lost in the translation.

Perhaps french don't say things like that or they say something similar so you cannot just translated it from english. Since the translation sounds a little strange to me I will not use it.

When I studied japanese I realised that there are quite a lot of things the Japanese don't say or they have some of those expressions that they always never fail to use and the English don't use them at all. So there is a cultural gap there and translation will not help much in those cases.
