Who creates positive, learning atmospheres?

Who really creates a positive, learning atmosphere? Obviously, learning begins in the womb of the mother who cares for herself and prepares to give birth to new human life. This growing person over a 40 week period has an independent human life, but this person counts on his/her mother to take proper pre-natal care to prepare for the eventual birth. As a result of medical ultrasound, the mother and the father become aware of the new human life that is developing. The unborn child gets familiar with the atmosphere within the womb, but also with the many sounds and activities that occur outside the womb prior to actual birth. The parents are the first teachers of this unborn child. In many cases, the mother is the only parent available before birth to prepare the child for eventual birth and the brand new world. When the baby is born, the child learns from many persons to respond and to react to the basic baby's needs. As the child grows in the first few months, the child responds to the many persons who give positive input for the child to learn many basic skills. With patience and with responsible parenting, the child knows love and who really cares about the child. A loving mother and dad does make the difference for a young child to grow and to learn who will provide for his/her basic needs and wants. A positive response gets a positive reaction by a young, developing child. Yes, who really makes a difference in a positive, learning environment for a new human life?...other caring and loving humans especially the focused, loving parents of the child. In the first five years of a child's human existence, most of the learning of basic skills and learning encouragement to succeed comes from responsible, loving parents. In many cases, the daycare provider for working parents may also have a profound impact on the learning skills of young children.
The other who's include immediate family (brothers and sisters), relatives (grandparents, aunts, uncles), and reliable friends. Next up, the what promotes a positive, learning environment.
