Beside the point, it is known that the future of a country is based on the human material that it posses and this is a consequence as well as an adapted development of its childhood; against this background that turns out worrisome to the results from investigations in Ecuador, is that a high percentage of kids in its first years of life suffers from varied and remarkable deficiencies, as much in the motor scope as psychic; which makes us think that the most valuable thing that a society has is Childhood, that is in serious difficulties of health, which as it is logical, to medium term can constitute the base of serious limitations in a society.

Unfortunately for a country that wants to be competitive and highly developed in the next millennium, it becomes necessary to stimulate in early form the new born, and even before birth.

There are some key principles that I'd like to mention:
- The atmosphere where the mother is, will be fundamental to begin to educate the baby, and will have a greater impact on its brain during the first period of cerebral growth.

- The interaction is more valuable than the observation. It is important to know that babies learn through the interaction with people and movements. It is fundamental that the parents teach the baby how to move, for this they can use music, sounds like bells and telling him/her to move towards the left or the right.
He/she is active in development and will learn through his/her own experiences. To educate means to urge him to do certain activities, this way he/she will learn how to solve problems.

- Curiosity produces stimulation. Sounds are important in this principle. Mother and father must teach the baby the names of sounds. For example, telling him/her that is the bell, this is the phone, that is the sound of the TV. This is your music to go to bed.

- Repetition is very important. If the mother teaches the baby the time to go to bed then she won't have problems for him/her to sleep. Or the time to eat, or the time to be quiet and pay attention to the music that is sounding.

- Teaching babies left and right is very important to develop their brain. Mother can use something warm and something cold. Putting the cold thing on the left she will teach the baby what is left,then putting the warm thing on the right she will teach her/him what is right.

I will finish saying that the senses are fundamental in the same way in the stimulation and education in the womb. The mother must smell pleasant things and explain to him/her what she is smelling. She will taste different textures and also explain what she is eating or drinking. When she sees pleasant things explain what the are, colors, for example a landscape and tell him/her the colors of the sea, or the sky, etc.

Teaching is the finest of fine arts. Because it has to do with development, equipment and training of mind and heart, which are the dynamics of life. What a blessing it would be if all would teach from the womb as Jesus taught!, Master of masters, Teacher of teachers.
Mothers and fathers in your teaching be as near like Him as possible.
