The ease with which children learn has always been mentioned, but what is it that makes them so effective at observing and repeating the stimuli that surround them? Many scientists mention in their hypotheses that it is the neuronal capacity that these children possess but, others mention that it is very important how this neuronal network is stimulated, although children have a greater cognitive capacity in this first stage, just as a plasticine must be moulded, sculpted if you like, then polished, the interaction that these children have in the first stage is crucial to have a better development, for example. This is the case of children who in the first stage have a good stimulation of their parents, this ña constant parents to interact frequently with your child, creating the classic "take and give me" the child sends signals to parents through gestures, words and parents respond to their children, thus the child gets what he wants, his neuron acquire greater interaction between it expanding their cognitive ability. Now what we refer to as cognitive processes. It is to compare actions, i.e. in a group game making sand castles they could observe and compare which castle is bigger and more beautiful. Exchanging and negotiating ideas to agree on different contents of the game. Keep "in mind" the rules and objectives of the game Focus on their task, i.e. they mostly tend to be very competitive and take group games very seriously and always aim to win and be the best. Establish relationships and combinations, i.e. in a game of blocks they have the ability to organise each block by size and colour.
So we can say that from our earliest stages we are already moulded by the interaction we have with our environment. What happens if the opposite is true? It has been observed that these children who have not had the same interaction as others, or who have had it but in greater proportion, are potentially withdrawn children, with little ability to socialise, suffering from a lack of affection that is not easy to recover.
As I mentioned in the previous paragraph, how we as parents accept these invitations is a determining factor in our child's developmental cycle. Although, many studies have revealed that the relationship of parents varies according to their economic status, in a family where the income is higher than average, they have more communication with their children, conversations are more enriching, in an environment where parents receive a salary lower than the minimum wage are poorer in terms of their level of development, according to experts this varies because parents who are subjected to even high level of stress for various daily concerns can not maintain the necessary attention to their child. In other words, we somehow neglect our children, immersed in so many problems, and we don't forget to spend quality time with them. To a certain extent I can validate the latter, as a sociologist I have been able to conclude that the level of culture has changed to a large extent, because the relationship in the household has changed in recent years.
In my opinion, interaction in the early stages of life is vital, as it is the basis of all development that will determine to a large extent the psychosexual development of the subject in question. Nowadays, programmes are being implemented where we work directly with the people who take care of the children on a daily basis. What I want with this programme is to be able to guide the parents and direct them that a good relationship between parent and child can determine to a great extent the life of the child, that is to say, the parents have to focus more on establishing relationships that result in a greater learning, the high stimulation through conversation can be very nourishing for the child. An example. Maria, a one and a half year old girl, has crumbs of bread in her hands, she plays with the crumbs, she doesn't really know what it is, she just plays, Antonio the father sees her, Maria gives the crumbs to her father, he doesn't understand what she wants, so he decides to ignore her, Maria tries again to get her father's attention, maybe because she wants to know what it is, she wants her father to give her an answer. Many times as parents we forget or ignore the importance of this stage.
