Child learns in context of loving environment with adult. Take into account the multiple contexts that affect parent and child. Ensure communication and support between the various systems in which the child lives. Can be very explicit - out in the open. Can be implicit - like the bobo doll experiment where the child observes others behaviour and replicates it. The way we perceive and value them impacts how we teach them.
