Mindset

 

As a child develops and gets different opinions and ideologies into them like I explained last week, there is also the part where a child learns certain things through excesses that might be communicated through their environment. For example, at the earliest stage when the child is dependent on his/her parent or a caregiver for anything, one major habit that gets established in the child during this phase is that; the child learns either to trust or not. At this phase the child is totally dependent on the parents or caregiver for major needs, if the parties involved display their duties accurately well then the child builds trust In their framework and the deficiency here will be that, if the parties involved were lagging in playing out their duties then the child learn not to trust. The bad here is that, the child is not learning not to trust his/her parents alone, the child struggle with trusting everyone around them.

You might then be wondering, why does everyone have to bare the consequence of someone's mistake, this is why it is a mindset. At that stage of development, the only being the child recognizes around them are those who attend to their basic needs, and if you remember from this beginning of this discussion, I mentioned that a child's soul is like a blank board when given birth to, so every of their exposure forms imprint that makes the mind up, so every good and bad experience a child is exposed to while developing forms every of their mindsets and this is why you have believes and mindsets you don't know how or where you got them from.

Mindset

 

You are tuned in the direction of what you have consistently been seeing and hearing. That thing you know so much, that belief system you have so much held on to, that morals that have become your standard of living, that template you have placed as a yardstick to which you measure your life didn't just jump on you like magic, neither did you bring them from heaven; they are things you have consistently imitated and have consciously and unconsciously become part of you and this mostly happened/happens at the earliest phase of your life.

            

The brain of an infant is formed through a systematic process; you'd be thinking why so much English, is not just that a child grows? The truth is it is not just that a child grows; as a child grows physically they also develop intellectually, so many events and processes outplay in the process of development. The very first stage of growth for a child is the period where the child recognizes something by putting it in their mouth, this is why if you give something to a baby they take it straight to their mouth because at that stage, the only channel they use to relate with their environment is their mouth. Then there comes a time when their sights get activated, this is the phase when they can differentiate a solid from a liquid but can't differentiate a liquid from another liquid, e.g they cannot differentiate a bottle of hypo from a bottle of water. Moving on, there comes a stage when their sense of hearing is activated. I'm bringing this analogy to drive the point that; at each stage of development, a child gets different ideologies, opinions, and ideas into them from their environment. At the stage of development, the model of the child as at then is their environment (the environment consists of both the natural habitat and the people living in it)
