- babies are like sponges and they started their learning process from the womb (I believe this is true as my child mimics the activities that was so me during my pregnancy)
- those that spends the most time with her in these crucial years will have the most impact in their internal believe system (a sad fact and a big disappointment as I am away from her at least 12-14 hrs, 5 days a week)
- babies starts to have memories around 8 months and this time they will start to show preference
- after about 2 years old their learning experiences using their hands are very important, thus should have lots of hand activities such as hand painting to sharpen and develop this skill
- babies development up to around 8 months is all about survival, so it is important to make them feel safe and secure... (read this earlier on on a book, that is why it is a no no for me to leave my baby crying just to 'teach' her... I also read that a child that is always cuddled and have their needs met shows more potential to be a confident and secured child when they grow up...a research was done on this ok... :) )
- a child learns from their surroundings... so it is very important to bring them out and let them have a feel of the environment, like the garden or the backyard... then their perception of reality is much better as they can see the world as a whole rather that the four concrete walls of their room, tv and games... (will definitely keep this in mind and try to have a daily garden outing when Shiya is older...)
Ok, that's all for now... :)
