It's incredible how basic trust becomes a foundation in the development of the

human psyche. This demonstrates how many factors can influence a child's
development, such as independence. A child develops his or her own freedom
alongside their likes and dislikes, allowing them to say "no" without fear of
repercussions. It lets them know that they are recognized as human beings with their
own perceptions of themselves. They also have an inquisitive mind or a desire to
understand the world around them, knowing that their parents will always welcome them
back with open loving arms. It fosters their inner freedom to discover things they are
unaware of. The parents or caregivers bear complete responsibility for honing this
particular level of development; it is always up to them to determine the child's behavior
or mindset. I remember as a child every time that I explore new things about people,
places and try to share those things with my parents. I'm always yelled at without
knowing why or what I did wrong. Similarly, to that is when I declined or try to say "no" to
something, they interpreted it as disrespectful to them. That is why I am always
disciplined with a belt, hanger, or even the wooden part of a broom. As a result, as I
grew older, I naturally kept my opinions to myself and never told anyone what I was
saying or doing. And eventually, at such a young age, my inquisitive mind died. I always
rely on my parents for guidance because I am afraid that if I do something on my own, I
will be physically disciplined again. It becomes a trauma for me, which I still have as an
adult, where things I try to discover become fearful of turning into a huge mistake.

The principle that I misunderstood is “to be disciplined fairly and lovingly”

because our parents disciplined us physically and verbally abusive so when my siblings
thought that it was my turn to be disciplined. They thought that it was normal to be
physically disciplined for simply asking questions and saying “no”. They thought that it
was fair to be abused just as what happened to them. Now they have difficulties in
building relationships with other people.It demonstrates how parents play an important
role in the development of a child's personality.
