Mind Programming

The fascinating thing about human beings is the fact that we are very smart and yet we find all the time in the world to program stupidity into our minds. This is defined by the efforts parents make to teach their children that a lot of things they do are wrong. From birth, as an example, it's not long after the baby gets home that a parent will begin to teach the child not to touch items around the house. Why not? Well there may be an element of danger to the event but for the most part it is absolutely stupid to constantly train a child to do what is natural!

Psychologically Speaking it is perfectly natural for a child to be inquisitive. The process of learning and development is enhanced by our actions. We feel and touch things just like they observe mom and dad doing to educate themselves as to what they should and shouldn't touch. Getting a feel for what is good to touch and what isn't. You can tell a child not to touch the stove because it is hot but unless they have had the sensation of hot they really would have no idea what hot is. And yet a parent will yell at the child because it has ventured near the stove several times making the child feel like it has done something wrong when it hasn't developed the sense of what hot is.

The child really has no idea that your ultimate end result is, as a loving parent, they are watching out for their safety and best interest. They only perceive that they have done something wrong but no idea what.

I am not saying to let a child burn their hand by touching a stove. But in a controlled way there are ways to educate the child to understand the right and wrong with a full understanding what a parent really means.

Ironically a person would likely allow a cat to crawl all over the house even to the point where it will jump on the counter where perhaps food is prepared but if their toddler touches their $200 lamp shade there is hell to pay. It's important to work with children right from birth to help develop their minds in understanding right and wrong, good and bad rather then confuse them and program them into absolute stupidity. The capability of a human brain to absorb and process information is astronomical. But it must be developed.
