Decoding perception code in Toddlers’, a tricky business

Recalling a few memories of a popular serial during 90’s, Jungle Book, I remember that we (me and my siblings) used to gather in our living room and watch it silently every Sunday morning at 9.00 without fail. Fascinated with Mowgli’s voice, main lead of the serial, we used to imitate his voice, “Bagheera, run with me”.

Mother child interaction
Imitation or copying comes as a phenomenon where our mind/brain tries to reproduce the same character that we see. Our brain has certain spots that store information. Brain of a child below the age of six months, is still under a developing phase.

He can only see but can’t respond because he cannot make out things in this strange world. He only remembers his mother, her touch, her affection and all. As he grows, his mind develops, where he starts perceiving everything and starts recognising everything in real.

Their perception power gradually increases with age. Initially, they try to understand each bit of their surroundings, putting random stuffs in their mouth, asking same questions every time or repeating it at different intervals.

The cognition ability of a child is produced innately. With age, his power of understanding, power of grasping and mode of interaction increases. Moving his legs on the tunes played, raising his hand when he hears his favorite song or smiling over his desired pet when it barks, “Bhow-Bhow”, he takes pleasure in his own ways.

At times, it also becomes difficult to understand Children’s language; what they say, what they want; what they need actually. They set their own world, where they live, and enjoy; believing that we are there to take care of them.


Unlike adults, understanding the brain of a child is a delicate business, as it keeps on changing and developing. Scientists at various institutes across the world are trying to find the delicacies of a child’s brain by performing different experiments like understanding their behavior towards their parents, towards animals and towards other children.

It's been over two years now that #COVID has drenched us all from head to toe. Display of information across social media platforms or news channels played a crucial role in guiding people from time to time. Google's search tool, during this outbreak, transformed into a gigantic tool to fetch out relevant, timely and authentic information.  Before punching down itself completely, as experts say, this virus #SARS-CoV-02 will still rule in our lives for at least 2-3 years, though not aggressively.  And thus, it becomes imperative to keep ourselves updated with all the tools we have in-place and in-action.  These updates are crucial and must be enacted in time to produce a solid ground for people, who are looking for information related to vaccines, vaccine centers/PHCs, availability of booster shots, side-effects of vaccines and its treatment, testing centers, and many such relevant topics.  Google can enhance its COVID-info-wall with the following inclusions: 1.

Age of COVID-19 pandemic, January 2020 onwards, witnessed a great deal in terms of health and social values, forced us to overhaul our daily habits and routines, setting trends of new culture and lifestyle in a more conventional approach with the use of methods and beliefs prevailing thirty-forty decades back (daadi ma ke nuskhey aaj zyada samajh aatey hain), contemplating over use of more innovative tools and concepts to tackle the spread of pandemic and above all absence of verification of news and information shared across various social media platforms, websites and channels- having ability to inflict more disastrous effect on the population turning them into a mindless pot of despair.
