2. ATTITUDES OF TRUST FORMATION
The attitudes of trust and mistrust are laid as early as in babyhood,
depending on parents gratify the needs for food, attention and
love.Also it has been seen that the attitudes continue more or less
same throughout the life.
Additionally, how the grown up baby will perceive other people and
situations will also depend on this critical period.

5. BABIES & DEVELOPMENT
Whether babies achieve the developmental milestones within the
appropriate time depends partly on their innate abilities (heredity)
and partly on the training they receive during early formative years of
life (environment).
The extent of the heredity or environment in exact proportions is
difficult to mention as there are studies in favor of either of them.
The influence of heredity is called as ‘nature’ and that of the
environment is said to be ‘nurture’.
The ages between 2 to 5 years are very important for laying
foundations for the complex behaviors that are to follow in coming
years (Bijou, S.W.Ages, Stages and the naturalization of human development.American Psychologist,1975, 30, 829-837.)
