This TED talk definitely had a lot of new information that I thought was amazing as well! I never knew how smart babies were as young as 18 months! It amazes me that they are able to think and understand our emotions when we show them, such as showing a distaste in one food and a love for another one. You are incredibly right when you say that that having a presence in our kids, or a kid’s life, is so very important. They are able to learn how to interact socially, physically and emotionally just by observing us. It is true when people say parents are a kids biggest role model/influencer
