During Infancy
During Infancy
During infancy the wires on
the TVs, which transmit or
get signals, were
responsible for
my fast brain growth at
4 weeks. My first words: declare to
be true and
affirmative. The metal pole leaning up against a
backyard veranda square post gave off
this comfy vibe that quickly made better my
visual acuity, especially made better my
depth perception. I could localise these sounds:
taps dripping in
my parents’ (I could hear their voices in the
first two hours of life) ensuite, could hear taps dripping in
the upstairs one too; the breathing of
insects and rats and mice in
the walls; the walls cracking in
the attic; the life
outside. I could sit without
any support, walk at
two months, run with no
effort or
difficulty at
3 months. I was the best at
object permanence development. Turning my
head 360 degrees was
easy, too easy. My pupils dilated at
3 weeks. Focus to
new stimulus was
award worthy, no
doubt about it. Too was my
habituation (lessened orientating response) to
done again stimulus. Skipped
babbling. Spoken language was
ultra high. Not surprisingly, my
temperamental individuality was, well,
difficult. I wasn’t easy to
deal with. Seldom I wasn’t fast to
warm up. Bond to
parents, grandparents, was
ON and
OFF secure, thus
facilitate exploration was
ON and OFF. ON and
OFF separation anxiety. “Stranger Anxiety” on
11 +.
