The young children are educated to grow up. They learn their language, they learn common sense and they learn the world. In this period, the education by the parents takes a great part. They teach children how to dress themselves, how to wash dishes, and most important of all, how to communicate with others. Children also can learn the world by imitating their parents and observe by themselves.
