A Blank Tape

Usually we use a tape whenever we needed to see something or record something. I can remember way back high school burning music or songs in a BLANK CD/TAPE was so trending. You get to choose your own songs and so it would continue to play whenever you put it in your player.

A childs brain or mind is just like a blank tape. As they come out of this world they know nothing but the urge to survive and the feeling maybe of needing a bottle of milk but other than that we parents or family members would need to be the one to provide all the knowledge that they may need to survive in this world.

From ages 1-4 just like my daughters age they are still trying to absorb a lot of things and are at times overwhelm with what they can see or hear. As I continue to observe them both within this age it is important that you show them how to express love and show affection. Learn to say thank you when someone gives you something and/or respond your welcome. In short, it is the time when we mold them to become polite and respectful.

Kids are way too easy to adapt things like how everyone in the family deal with each other, if you guys would shout or just talk calmly or you just neglect each others presence inside the house that can get into their brain. They might think those are just normal actions. Kids are pretty observant and very sensitive. They get too overwhelm with things and what they feel that is why sometimes they would tantrums.

And as they grow older they would get used to the scenario and may also affect their attitude. As parents we have to be very careful with what we show them as it will affect our kids and our actions would be a great part of their lives. We will be their first teacher, so whatever they learn at home is very much crucial and important.

Example, I do not allow my partner to cuss in front of my kids but at times especially when he got so engrossed with playing he would start cussing and then my eldest would tend to listen. One time as they were playing with her sister she suddenly cuss. Its like an expression for her but since my husband was there he was able to hear what our baby mentioned.

Our childs development and learnings are our responsibility. We have to make sure to be very conscious with our actions and really become a good example to them.
