Abstract This chapter will review the research on parent–infant interaction that leads scholars to claim teaching is first and paramount means of socializing children. Following Western, educated, industrialized, rich, democratic (WEIRD) popular opinion, conduct a complementary analysis literature Indigenous communities whose parenting ethnotheories do not encompass teaching. Mother–infant may include baby talk or motherese; infants rarely be held en face; infant’s bids for attention (via pointing) ignored; parents engage in with objects. On contrary, widespread ethnotheory posits “good” infant care requires frequent, quiet feeding followed by restful interlude. Nearly continuous physical contact between others contrasts WEIRD pattern more distal relations bridged frequent infant-directed verbalization. parent–child speech patterns are predicated an assumption complete person from birth all adult capacities present nascent form stimulated scaffolded special forms as necessary. In contrast, most societies withhold fully human status at least until child mobile has acquired speech. The guiding targets end state where develops collectivist interdependent character primed “fit in” group contrasted WEIRD-worthy “individualist.” elicited anthropologists show how shape children fulfill these differing aspirations.
