Infant Critical Period

Infant Critical Period There is a critical period in an infant’s life that we are blinded to. That period is between birth-9 months.

This is a crucial development stage in the life of the infant. During the process of attachment, communication between the parent-infant dyad occurs. According to Erik Erikson’s stage of psychosocial development, in my opinion, the first stage, stage 1 of the psychosocial crisis = trust vs. mistrust, is the most critical in the development of an infant. In this initial stage of development, if a c

hild fails to complete it positively, mistrust occurs, and the infant’s ability to complete further stages is reduced. This stage begins at birth and continues to 18 months of age. In Erikson’s theory of psychosocial development, when an infant is in the first stage, they experience a pattern of social neglect, the lack of basic needs, and affections. Mistrust is established, hope turns into fear, and finally, an overwhelming mistrust in the world and everyone around them.

What makes a nation strong? It’s not policy—it’s people. It’s families. It’s love lived at home. The health of a nation begins with the family.

This Christmas, let’s cherish what truly matters.

A child’s trust is sacred. They rely on us to protect their bodies, not harm them.

We don’t ask toddlers to sign contracts. We don’t let 10-year-olds get tattoos. So why are we pretending children can consent to irreversible medical interventions?

Let kids be kids. Safeguard their bodies. Defend their future.

The family is the most basic and fundamental building block of all social life. It is where individuals first learn to socialize, form relationships, and understand moral values. The health of families is foundational to the stability and well-being of the broader community and society as a whole.

Según la teoría del apego, nunca debes dejar que su bebé llore para que, supuestamente, crea pulmones. Ese es un error que heredamos de nuestros padres. Está comprobado que si usted no rescate su niño cuando llora más tarde crecerá en un adulto que desconfía de su familia; tendrá ansiedades, y otros problemas de nervios porque lo dejamos llorar. Cuando tendemos a sus lloriqueos, aprenderá que mami y papi siempre estarán ahí por ellos. Aún estás a tiempo. Este ahí por sus hijos cuando lo necesitan. A lo largo tendrás recompensas gloriosas por ser un mayordomo fiel.

Es tiempo hacer volver el corazón de los hijos hacia los padres y la de los padres a los hijos. He aprendido que si dependemos de Dios como Padre Nuestro y nos disciplina, es tiempo de aprender la lección que nos da Su Palabra, tal como el hijo Pródigo. Todo padre debe ser como el padre de ese hijo Pródigo.
