Without going into detailed child psychology a new born baby is largely devoid of experiences outside of its mother. By the child's second day it has doubled all the experiences of day one. If you are twenty years old you would need to be forty before you doubled your life experiences, so you can see a young child's experience of the world is far greater than an adult's.

The emotional accumulation of positive and negative experiences has far more effect in childhood. This is amplified by the fact that a child does not start to reason, or think things out until it is much older.

Let's say for example later in life you had someone tell you that you are as dumb as a fence post, you would look at the person who said it and evaluate very quickly how much weight you would give to their opinion. If it's a psychiatrist in a white coat you would take him seriously. If it's a drunk in a bar looking for a fight, you certainly wouldn't believe that what he said was true.

Right education for your child begins with observation. Seeing there reactions and movements. Children do not have the logic of thinking until they are much older, which is why they are so susceptible to what we say.

Understanding and observing there needs and encouraging them with positive feelings along with being there for them with your tender care and support, will help provide the child with all it needs to live a happy and healthy life. This will give your child the confidence it needs to ask questions and to understand and live intelligently.
