Babies and their growth environment


Humans are born into helpless bodies, they are at birth, and a long time after that dependent on outside help to survive past their first breaths.
This help comes in the from of care and nourishment provided by the parents.
As the baby grows up and starts to get familiar with its immediate environment, a form of independence start to take place.
The baby starts to mimic the parents, trying to walk like them, eat like them and overall behave like them.
Babies start experimenting with items available in their immediate surrounding, learning that fire is hot,vinegar is acidic and soap is slippery and most of all not edible.
Usually this process takes place under minimum supervision from the parents, as not to hinder or to interfer with the "natural" training of the baby.
Sometimes, in their attempt to keep their baby safe, some parents go overboard through the implementation of drastic and untolerably constricting hygiene and safety measures, thus 
denying their babies the "freedom" to be curious and to explore.
When hindered, babies start shying away from  unfamiliarity, which slows down their learning and make them overly dependent on their parents.
Developing a healthy brain and body that will be useful later in life, in order to navigate the intricacies of life
 depends highly on the experiences babies go through.
Doing away with these essential and formative happenings will result in weak being unable to face life without the reliance on heavy and constant external help even for the smallest of tasks.
