From the day the kids are born they start to get to know and relate to the place where they live, whether it’s a house, an apartment, or other types of structure. The first step is to learn important facts about their houses, such as the bathroom is were people take baths or brush their teeth, the bedroom is where people sleep, and the kitchen is made to cook the delicious food they eat.
