A child’s emotional and social stability is initially determined in the family. Successful parenting produces a secure and well-adjusted-child, one who is able to join the wider world with confidence. New parents may feel apprehensive about the enormous responsibility they face in equipping their children for life beyond the family circle. Initially, a newborn baby needs close and active interaction to encourage the development of intelligence and language. Research shows that the greater the stimulation, the more rapid and therefore advanced the child’s development will be – especially its intellectual, social and linguistic development. Conversely, a lack of attention can have serious, lifelong consequences, for example, children who are insufficiently stimulated may lack confidence and curiosity, remaining withdrawn shy and fearful well into adulthood.
