Hello,

Many of us are aware that infants have the capacity to be independent beings, that have the ability to communicate effectively with others. This is seen through the behaviours of an infant, when they screw up their face when they dont like their food, when they put out their arms when they want to be picked up, etc.

The question I raise and am interested in your thoughts is: How much of this knowledge is innate and how much is learnt from the impact of others and their enviroment?

As infants develop, to what extent does the surrounding environment effect the child and how can we distinguish this from innate behaviours?

Any thoughts or opinions on this issue would be much appreciated.

Thank you!
