READ: The Childhood Development Triangle

The Childhood Development Triangle consists of three critical elements, and each one is an element of something we absorb.  These are the building blocks of our personalities, and they influence us well into adulthood.

Safety:

From a young age, we are programmed to seek out environments, relationships, and different things that make us feel secure and safe. This could be physical, or emotional safety, they can be different for each person.

Friends:

As humans, we are social creatures, and from the moment we start interacting with the world around us we're on a quest for connection with other people. This can narrow down to the friends we make, and the groups we belong to, and these all play an incredibly important role in how develop into adults.

Rewards:

The rewards are different for every person, and it's all about the feedback loop of action, and then some kind of gratification to be received. As children, we learn that very specific behaviors can lead to positive outcomes.
