Abstract
The family setting we are born into has the biggest impact on our emotional growth. Our early childhood is why in shaping our emotional development despite In reality after that a person experience other life events as time passes. As a child growing up in India, the norm is to have a house shared by one not one but a few generations of elders. So, kids have access to wisdom from a higher number of generations resulting in getting different minds from which they can get advice. These individuals become the first source of care and This way the first opportunity to create the feeling of belonging. When the relationship between children and their caregivers is continuously warm and loving that certain positive qualities should emerge: an individual will be able to understand the feelings of others more easily, be more forgiving, the propensity to realize when one is being helped and ability to depend on safe emotional connections. Such emotional bonds have been proven to be linked to emotional well-being, the ease of making friends and concentrating at school. In contrast, the lack of affection, sending out the wrong signals or putting too much pressure on a child can bring a complete halt in achieving the normal development. The migration from the countryside to cities, exhausted parents and even family trauma being passed down through generations can act as such agents which will further widen these gaps. The possible results can be a mind that is constantly stirring, a feeling of sadness that has no specific cause, a low sense of value and finding it difficult to form close relationships. Besides looking at the family life in the major cities of India, there was also the witnessing the hardships of early childhood in the rural Bihar, study of which shows that the developmental patterns are general ones. Alongside the theories of moral development (e.g. Kohlberg, Hoffman) there are local ideas like sanskara (moral development) and the gurushishya parampara (continuity through trusted relationships) that have been introduced. These viewpoints not only help to understand how care-giving methods impact the mental states of a person but they also show how such methods contribute to the overall well-being of a person.
