| From the moment of conception, your precious bundle of joy already starts unfolding its potential of becomming a human being. Interesting to know though, is when a baby is born it is not a human being yet, but only a "human becomming". Becoming a human being is only possible through interaction with other humans something that starts with the love and care of mommy and daddy. |

| Emotions are little chemical reactions in the body that propels you forward, that motivates you, that says HEY this is important- I want to remember this and store it in memory for later use.If there is no emotion, there is no relationships and without relationships you can't develop to your full potential. |

| Various techniques may be used to cause stimulation of the Vagus nerve to increase the flow of oxygen to the organs supported by the Vagus nerve. The increase of oxygen will 'instruct' the smooth muscles to relax and support the functions of hearing, seeing, sucking, swallowing, speech, breathing, slow down the heart rate and improve digestion. |

| Toddler's cry because they are not yet able to identify their emotions and they also do not have the words to tell you what is wrong. Toddler's have a need for someone to speak on their behalf and crying is an emotional outlet for them. |
