    The first observation I did was at the Esmelda daycare, this daycare is a family daycare there the woman and husband showed me what they did every day they said that the toddler had hours for everything like what time they eat, how much time they had to play. Esmelda daycare promote language through play time she has book that help the toddlers learn the different animal or the ABC the woman would read the book to toddler by pointing to animal or letter and saying what it was she would also promote language by playing with the toys like counting how many Lego blocks there is or by saying the color of the toy right now. Esmelda daycare is not fully completed with all the material the toddlers need they are in process, but still not being a fully completed daycare you can see that the women and the husband take really good care of children when I was there as she was taking to me if the children need something she would stop and put attention to what the children need instead of just keep taking to me and ignored the child. Compare to the second observation did where each children age group has his own in Esmelda daycare see has all the children together he also has the toy room apart where they just go play when is play time and can’t go in until is play time again.…

First, it seems that the child's attachment to, as well as trust in the parents is not, or at least mainly reliant on the parents fulfilling the infant's biological needs.…

Sure, children are a product of their environment; but this doesn’t always mean that the parents are to blame for what a child may do. Sometimes, children just do not have the ability to learn what is morally right and wrong. Sometimes, develop in such a way that the parents did all they can, but all their work and all they did was to little or no avail.…
