"Learning to love with the unselfishness is not easy because this is contrary to our nature. That is why we are given the time to learn throughout our lives in a family..." - Family DISCovery
Happy #WorldChildrensDay - 20 November 2019
One may think that to nurture children, every parent has already had the instincts on how to raise their children. Yes, more or less, there is nothing wrong about this point of view. On the contrary, we can see how many children are taught and brought up in the wrong and inappropriate ways; how many cases that children experience violence in the home by their parents and by the other family members? Or even the worse things might occur: the parents do not care about their children in any way. As a result, we may see that so many children turn out to be broken home children.
In response to the awareness of the important thing about how to bring up children in the more multifaceted environments and some challenging situations nowadays, here is a brief note about the five stages of child development as to the foundation to knowledge on children:
Stage 1: Trust versus Mistrust (from birth to 1st year)
The main source of child's fulfillment: the mother's figure.
What is important? Mother-child bonding.
The main theme: The establishment of trust.
Practical things that need to be done by the mother:
* Fulfill child's needs related to physical needs.
* Complete child's needs to be loved or the closeness with the mother.
