Prince: Baby + Curiosity + Freedom + Person

When baby is playing with its toy, he expects no interference from adults, because they are focusing on what they find to be interesting. At this stage, their right of learning should not be deprived by your ignorant and over whelming caring and understanding. For example, if the baby is playing with short plastic rulers, that particular ruler has caught his attention that he must hold-up to it. He picks it up, put it in his mouth, and takes it out, then drop to throw it away and pick it up again…the series of events are a result of his curiosity during this period, and at the end he drops it and looking at it. You are then try to pick it up for him, and put it in his hand, he grabs it again and drop it, this time, he is doing it on purpose. The reason is because he has found something more interesting than the ruler. Asian parents sometimes deprive their right to learn, and interferes their learning process due to overwhelming of care and understanding; moreover, they are lazy because of the dirtiness.

To be able to hold the fundamental wisdom about baby, you must be able to see a baby as a person, not as friends or anyone on earth because in person is the most profound element in development stage. Even if they have grown up, this idealism will remain as it is. The reason is because when a person sees you as a person, they know you have feeling, and basically your five senses make you a human, and construct you with other elements such as love, thinking, and many more. When you see a baby or a child as your friends, then you probably bound by your mindset of what friendship are, and of course, you would wish to treat him as a child (as you have done with it) but your brain will tell you unconsciously that leads you to place your care and understanding in a child-taker perspective. By seeing baby as a person, is more toward a give and take, where you must understand that the babies will eventually see you as a person. What has showed that baby sees you as a person; it is when baby is crying for milk, when baby is making a nuisance to you or when a baby is beating you. During this period of time, a proper set of value must impart to him for example, to educate him how to discern the real and not real. Mother is playing the disillusion role; this was mention in a book read by prince last night, mother must try to educate their child what is real and not real.
