It is in the early years of a child that development and growth of a young mind must be coupled with noteworthy endeavors.This crucial stage happens when a child begins to see different aspects of our world and tends to ask so many questions that a parent may or may not be able to answer.If a parent would like to explain some of the difficult phenomena (sometimes inexplicable really) some efforts seem fall short.
