How Does Mirror Affect Infants by gtim4uall: 4:09pm On Jan 11, 2013 |
Greatings to evryone reading this.,,, This question has been bothering my mind for over ten years now, and i wil appreaciate it if anyone has a logical and perfect explanation for it... I remember when i was a child, i was carrying one of my neighbour's baby, i was showing the baby its image in a mirror ... Sudden two hot slap fell on my bare back as the woman quickly took her baby immediately away from me..... When i got back mysef i asked 2 why she acted so, i was told that one does not put a mirror before infants... I don't knw if its a tradition or a superstition but if anyone ever have an any idea on this should please enlighten me,... thanks for you contributions |

they should not know themselves, until the time is right........ babies are usually ADULT SPIRITS coming from heaven to live here, and experience this reality, if they see themselves too soon, they may fail in accomplishing what it is they came to do here, since they must first come here on a clean slate, or think this life is the only life there is to live, knowledge of them coming from some place else, may totally confuse them, and maybe make them forget why they came here... since they come here with a specific mission erasing all other memories, only with the purpose in mind..... 5 Likes |

I know of adults that wouldn't look at the mirror or reflection once its 6pm Each man to his convictions and self inflicted bondage @topic, I've once asked my MIL this question and her reply was both funny and quite sensible. She said its not ok cos it would give the baby the impression that s/he is the only person in the world,encourage narcissism. 3 Likes |

Superstition or myth, i haven't heard of any. To me its perfectly normal. At least the infant gets to see what he/ she looks like. |

This might help? This baby mirror myth falls into the same category as the "don't whistle at night" fantasy. While a good part of the world is coming to terms with the discovery of the "god-atom" we're still here? What's a newborn's favorite thing to look at? A toy? Nope. A geometric shape? Not really. Your baby's preferred view: a human face. She's not picky about whose face it is, though, so grab a mirror, and offer your baby a chance to gaze at her own! Here's how you can get in on the reflection fun, and help bolster your baby's development. 11 Likes |
