And we finish our review by the three bases of your children's learning. We have already talked about the error and the game, today is the turn of natural socialization, which is nothing other than the possibility of relating and learning from other human beings, but starting with your close family and your home.
Natural socialization: learning from models
Our human puppies, as humans they are, they are social beings. And they learn a lot by imitating their models. Animals learn almost everything from their parents and the human being is no different.
We are their first and most intense model, but remember that children will learn from what we do, rather than what we say. But above all what will favor your learning and even the integral development of their intellectual abilities is a close relationship, physical contact and that we attend to their natural needs.
The children imitate what others do and learn from it. Since they are babies and look at what we put in our mouths when eating, and this will happen throughout their childhood.
Small human beings have always grown up in tribes or small human groups, surrounded by relatives of all ages, with whom they shared experiences, adventures and conversations. The ideal would be provide the most natural environment possible to our children, allowing, safely and being present as long as necessary for their peace of mind (and ours) to interact with people of all ages.
We must not only ensure that they interact with children of exactly their age and in artificially created environments, but accompanying us in daily work, shopping and visits, with flexibility. That is the true socialization, which allows them to know society as a whole as naturally as possible.
In short, if you doubt if you can offer correct learning for your children, start with the three bases: Do not fear the error, favor the game and offer them a natural socialization.
