We have to understand early childhood stimulation as a way to help the baby in discovering his own world—guiding him and supporting him, trying not to correct him or direct him too much, but giving him the opportunity to make his own discoveries. This means a close observation of his behavior by the adult in charge, whose attitude should be one of respect, observing the baby’s reactions without intervening, even if they are not what the adult expected. In this way the baby will show us his essence without taking away from him his creativity, spontaneity and freedom of thought. Otherwise the baby will condition his actions to what the adult expects of him and will not make his own discoveries. For example, if the baby holds a drum upside down, it is OK. He is finding out how it looks on the other side. If he licks the drumsticks, he is exploring them. Don’t try to correct him, just keep objects and toys clean.
