I met up with a friend who studied psychology previously. She was facing certain challenge in expressing her true feelings to people who are close and deemed important to her.
After some probing, she revealed that she was a rejected child in her early childhood. Her mother was pinning for a boy but was disappointed to have a girl. So her mother sent her to a nanny, who was caring for many other kids, and never visited her. Even though she was "accepted" back in the family at the age of 6-7 year old, her sense of insecurity and fear of rejection stayed with her even when she enters adulthood.
My friend shared something that she was taught in her course of study: Usually a person remember the least about the happenings at age 0-6. But it is during this period that many of the things the child learnt or experienced are embedded into the subconscious mind and have long term effect on his/her life.
Now you are aware of this golden age of 0-6!! And you want your child to be a successful person!
Share with him/her more stories of successful people: how they think and live their lives, how they overcome challenges and achieve their goals. Let these be embedded in their mind.
Surround your child with stories on important life values, like filial piety, or correct social ethics. Let them be equipped them with a strong sense of right and wrong.
For a start, share this story of Helen Keller with them.
