A girl or boy who has barely reached one year does not yet have the capacity to conceptualize and internalize what is a value or a modal. At this age, one learns by copying the example of the parents.

It’s worth spending your time explaining to your 15-month-old that he should not spread his food all over his face, or that it’s important to respect others and be supportive. Here the experience matters, for your child is an avid explorer for discovering the world through his senses.

Thus, if you experience gratitude, love, courtesy, kindness and solidarity, you will internalize values ​​and manners so that, at the age of four, you can apply them. In the meantime, just copy the behavior and attitude of your parents, so that if you see that you thank you for receiving a gift, a smile and a hug, you will experience love and then, when your child receives a gift, Will be grateful because their experience in a similar situation was gratifying.

Parenting begins long before your baby is born, in planning a life project that includes your child as a key player. Then, parents prepare to give their child an education based on love principles: respect, value, thank, accept, understand, give their best and enjoy it.

Hence the importance of fertilizing the land with a good communication of a couple sustained in love and adjust everything at home so that your child can develop freely, without so many prohibitions or ‘care with this and that. That is why it is advisable to reserve a special room where you can experiment with objects, assemble and disassemble them, paint, scratch, play.

The key is to share with children and respect their explorations, games and fantasies, while parents are treated harmoniously and manifest their values ​​in everyday activities in a loving way, which includes tone of voice, words and contact physical.

At this age one can not punish error; If your child broke a glass, he should not be punished, cried, criticized or invalidated because his spontaneity is curtailed and intimidated. The solution is to take it to your fourth exploratory and show you how not to break the glass or what happens if it is mismanaged.

For all of the above, parents are also encouraged to use didactic games with elements of everyday life, as well as to take neurolinguistic programming workshops (NLP), which include techniques to improve communication at all levels.

Having a child is a wonderful opportunity to rediscover the world, to wonder, to fantasize and to play, impossible to lose because it does not give enough time.
