A child’s development in the first months of life is truly amazing. From a totally helpless and dependent newborn, unable to control their movements or to focus their eyes, the infant will learn to crawl, sit, stand, walk, talk and more. Children identify with other people and the world around them.
They learn whether or not the world is a friendly place, whether or not their needs are met promptly and kindly and whether contact with people brings pleasure and comfort.
In addition to an infant’s need for food, dry and warm clothing, bathing, sleep and fresh air, what an infant needs most, is loving care and attention.
