Adaptive social behavior -during the infant/toddler yeras

Socialization is the one of the most important skills that you can teach to your new human.Being able to adapt to a culture and understanding what is the cultural norms will allow  your infant/toddler to have the foundation that will guide her the rest of her life.
Your baby is born with a clean slate and will learn what you have written on it. During those early years birth to 18 months you should respond to the baby with the same words/tone and actions. For example if the baby is crying and you know that she is hungry - you may want to say -Sharon I know that you are hungry .Just give me a minute I am making a bottle for you. Allow the baby to watch you make the bottle .Within a few weeks the baby will understand and will begin to wait when you say those words .Yes your baby is not speaking but her brain records what you  say and she sees the action that goes along with those words. With repeated experiences the brain understands what is going on . The brocas section of the brain is responsible for language development and so your baby is not speaking but the brocas is recording and processing language  one the baby begins to speak  the vocabulary will be there for her to use.The cerebulum is responsible for movements and coordination of muscles,speaking helps to develop this section of the brain. Now  both sections will be working together to develop language. Giving your baby vocabulary is very important it allows your baby to begin speaking in short sentences  for example-want that  . You will extend their language by saying would you like your red truck.
Understanding how the brain works is very important  during the first three years because you are now able to do intentional teaching.
