Nearly four X ago , during a baseball field hunt pleasure trip in the jungles of South America , source Jean Liedloff met an indigenous hoi polloi name the Yequana , who were / are still living largely as they did in the Stone Age . She was so exact with the Yequanas , she adjudicate to move in with them for a duet years to study the differences between the ways in which they raised their children and the way in which we , in the U.S. , mostly evoke our children .
What Jean discovered in South America is this : Yequana shaver did not suffer from the terrible twos . They , likewise , were n’t prone to fit , selfishness and all the annoying nagging and whining that most American children exhibit at plate , and more and more more common , in public .
The reason ? Jean says the Yequana Indians give their infants much , much more care in the early stages ( like 0 " “ 6 month ) , yet never fall into the trap of letting the children become the center of their universe ( the way many American ’s do from age 6 month on ) .
So you may imagine the opposite , and that ’s on the nose how the Yequana people go about it , carrying the infant around on their someone everywhere they go , supply to her needs , yet never giving up the everyday chores ( on the opposite , involve the kid in them ) .
Infants whose continuum need are fulfilled , according to Liedloff , have greater ego - respect and become more independent than those whose call go unrequited for fright of spoiling them or take in them too qualified . They also do n’t sway on , nag , or any of those thing , as already mentioned .
The Baby Talk forum is now open .
