- The human infant is among the most helpless and dependent of God’s creatures, so you must help him to survive in all areas.
- Breaking a child’s terrible will power is very necessary, for if it is not broken at this age, it will develop to be stubbornness.
- Allow him to the extent he can develop to be independent and self reliant but be sure he respects limits set by the parent to balance up your training.
- Spanking a 2 year old with a small cane is ideal to correct rebellion. But be careful that you repeat your instructional dos and don’ts enough before spanking because the memory or attention span of toddlers is very short it will take some time for them to understand.
- Motherhood should not be substituted by nannies, babysitters, and maids. An infant needs the full attention of the mother for the first 7-14 months.
