Can even babies learn to distrust or
to reflect what adults want them to think.
The answer is yes they can. Watch this clip at how babies can
work out what someone else may want them to.
From beginning till a little over four minutes. Keep watching
if you want to learn more about babies brains and how they learn
from the world around them.
Now consider how in just a few minutes a social worker,
teacher, psychologist, parent or caregiver can train a child to 'want' what they want or to project a negative/positive reaction to something they may not feel themselves. This is why everyone should consider their own responses to different situations and understand how a child learns. This development of thoughts, wants and needs can be used in both a positive and negative way. This study also clearly shows that children from babies to adulthood still need to learn healthy thought process's but also understand that they are taking in a great deal, some of it what we ourselves are programming into them. Yes children develop their own likes and dislikes but it also shows that from early on they are working out our own likes and dislikes. They are also learning how to get the reaction in others that pleases them and thus gives the child the positive feedback they enjoy so much. Can children see beyond the here and now and really understand if they pick A to live with over B, life will be so much better... Of course not.. They are enjoying the crackers and not counting the calories.
