NURTURE AFFECT NATURE (CROAL--NIAN LIU)

For new-born infants, nature occupy to bigger percentage in their growth, because nature give them many abilities making us startle. For example, they can find sound source and distinguish their differences among some similar sound (Aslin, 1993; Atkinson, 1999). Evenly, you need not tell them who are you, they can distinguish who are their parents or detect differences between their parents' voice and other people, because some babies will cry when strange people take them or they ^ in a strange environment. Effective influence and education is also a necessary part which should not be overlooked in people's growth. For example, some bad habits or characters on the children who grow up in the personality of a great relationship, children will affect the healthy growth of children; on the other hand, if children live with excellent people, children will good for babies who are good at imitating growing child and teaching them to become excellent. That is this is what we know nurture will change nature for infant.Some people think the congenital impacts will be greater for the growth of babies in their future, such as intelligence. They think that the level of children's intelligence have many factors, but congenital influence will be greater; and through other change to effect children growth, for example, continue education after the birth and effect from environment, they will to change and to nurture talent, but this change would be more difficult. Therefore, researchers and some parents are trying to change the relationship between use of some outside influence in a child's birth or education, such as prenatal education. In modern society, prenatal education is becoming increasingly popular and important, it use some tool from outside to create a comfortable environment to living and growing during pregnancy, such as listen to music, tell story, and other simple practice which benefit and easy to pregnant women. These necessary tools from outside make the child was born intelligent, personality stability, conducive to their intelligence, personality, emotions, ability and other aspects of development, and after the birth of life on the road of development.
But we have to ignore nurtured bringing to us massive influences, such as family and social environment. An outcome from a report about the effect of the family environment for child’s language abilities, especially for the middle-class Chinese American.(1983) This report shows what children will get different influence in various families environment, for example, some children good at reading and writing, and their theses abilities better than other children growing in the foreign families. Some people think nature is more important than environment for children growth, other people hold ^ opposite opinion, I think both of all important for children, we cannot ignore anyone. For people, we need to use nurture effect to improve children basic of congenital. For example, prenatal education is a great instance to explain that the effect of nature bring to foetus and infant. And another hand, nurtured environment in the same important stage.
