Even in their earliest years, children are imbibing about their world in sophisticated ways that are not always reflected in their outward behaviour. For instance, your child might be picking up your mannerisms even before he/she begins waddling!
Remember, you are your child’s first teacher. Every waking hour, your child is learning something new from you!
Exciting, isn’t it? But with great power comes great responsibility !
You must be careful about what you say and do! As early as infancy the child is subconsciously absorbing your ways of living be it: food habits, mannerism, interaction with others, body language, temperament, behaviour, and everything else under the sun.
Infants and toddlers are amazing little students, grasping and learning from their immediate environment.
Neurosciences and early learning further reinstate that there is direct correlation between the parental responses and their child’s growth trajectory.
Parenting surely is hard and complicated, however, every child has immense potential. Exposure to the kind of environment is a major decisive factor towards building the abilities of the child (whether they bloom or withers away).
