Be mindful Parents, your child learns through the subconcious mind.

Learning starts from the cradle and furthermore it is confirmed by science that the adaptation starts as early as in the last trimester of pregnancy when the foetus learns about the world from the mother’s responses to the environment through her stress hormones or happy hormones levels.
In the Hindu epic, Mahabharata, there was a warrior named Abhimanyu (Arjun’s son) who is said to have learnt a war skill when he was in the womb of his mother.

Further it is confirmed that young minds soaks up information just like a sponge. Beginning from the time that we are born until about 7 or 8 years old, our subconscious formed a foundation of our preset beliefs and perceptions based on the people around us, the music we listened to, and the TV shows and movies we watched.

When you react with an avalanche of frustration when someone cuts you off in traffic, it is likely that your child will react in this way when their favourite chocolate bar disappears from the pantry.If you resolve disagreements with angry argument instead of understanding, reasoning and finding a solution, you can expect that this is how the child will approach conflict. Teaching your child keeping their room tidy and putting things away, by persuasion and punishment, is very hard work while your things are lying around creating a messy environment. If you complain about life and make drama of the things of little importance instead of focusing on the positives and being cheerful, you are making the child believe that the world is an unpleasant place and life is a struggle, and this is the template what life will become for them.

It is important to understand that the crucial aspect in this early learning is that kids learn and register much more efficiently by observing real life situations than from telling them what to do, how to behave and by setting up rules. We cannot expect them to be something different that we as parents and collectively as a society are giving them as an example. Don’t wait until your child goes to kinder or school for the education; textbooks don’t teach life. The most important learning is from a role model.

Thank you!
