It is generally true that a child needs to learn normal behaviors at an early age. Some things must be learned at a specific time. For instance focusing the eyes on colored objects is necessary in the crib; that is why we have brightly colored things dangling over the crib. Social skills are learned bit by bit from birth up to teen years.
False. Showing compassion is just way too much pressure for a 6-year old.
Showing compassion does not become important until middle to high school ages.
A family, of multiple children, can teach all of them to think about another child's feelings but it just sort of goes in one ear and out the other. None of it makes any sense, to them, until they get into their teen years.
