Mind You - He is watching you!

Home is the place for first learning. This is even true for Johan. He watches each and every move of ours - may it walking, raising of hand as a sign of refreshing, speaking, singing, praying, shouting, scholding. If i raise my voice, he say "Minndda", if it coughs, he asks me to spit, if i cough while drinking water, he asks me to hit on top of my head or he shouts "Palli" - an healthy act to distract you. He learns a lot through his eyes. He learns a lot through his sound. He make different types of sounds and learns from its echos too. He notices the obvious, which elders tend to miss.



The visions passing through the television has a great impact on him - especially the advertisements. He knows many of the commercials by its music. He know whatz the next caption which is going to be said in many of the media ads. This made me realize the power of ads on children and why there is a huge effort behind commercials.

He watches every move of others. In the church, he observes the choir processions and imitates it at home. At home, Johan becomes the bearer and his parent follows up.
