Environment: They sense everything from day 1



Many people think that infants/toddlers do not understand what is going on around them.  As young as they are they pick up on the energy around them. Remember you are their first teacher.

Infants/toddlers who experience domestic violence frequently the infants/toddlers' brain tends to create a fear factor.  If your infants/toddlers are constantly  hearing you and the father cussing the child will become fearful as the environment is chaotic. A lot of times I am walking I hear mothers on the phone cussing like a drunken sailor and their infant is in the stroller. What do you think you are teaching your infant? Children need caregivers who are positive role models and will help them through the development stages in an emotionally healthy way.

So the next time you want to cuss on the phone, remember your little one and consider changing your language or wait until they are out of earshot.
