Every time I watch a Hibiscus Bud which becomes flower in a fe days, I am reminded of the science of child Development when a foetus becomes a new born and goes on to be an infant.
The foetus-newborn-infant development, take place in three environments-in the uterus for the mother, birthing place at home or in a hospital and the home environment of the parents. Each of these environments has a bearing on the child development process.
Of late, my exploration has been to discover the favourable and unfavourable events taking place in this developmental journey.
A buds does not become a flower until all the influences converge to allow it to happen.
The coming together of the involvement of parents, Obstetrician and the family members create the ambience for a pleasurable and promising child development journey for a child!
Is it happening in a commendable way!
I suspect that parents seem to abdicate a lot of the responsibilities towards their child to other members of the family! This is causing a set back to optimal child development practices !
A mother told me that her children are under the care of their grandparents! I was faced with a disturbing question! Where are the parents!
