Can someone tell me a thing are there any specific incidents of Ram and Sita's childhood which form important parts of the epic?

I liked the scene they showed yesterday. 😊 Especially the Sita one. I liked her entry and it looked quite hooking. That made me ask this question.

Janaki,

Are you talking about the episode where they show infant Sita lifting the Shiv Dhanush?

Neither Ram nor Sita's childhood are very prominent in Ramayana. All we know of Ram's childhood is that he and his brothers studied under Vasishta in his ashram until the age of 16, wherein they returned home to Ayodhya.

All we know of Sita's childhood is that when she was a young girl (around the age of 8-10) she was throwing around a ball with her sisters in the room where the Shiv Dhanush was kept, and the ball rolled underneath the heavy cart that the dhanush rested on. Sita's sisters could not push the cart so Sita lifted the shiv dhanush, thereby allowing the sisters to push the cart and retrieve the ball.

Seeing this incident, Janak realizes his daughter is none other than a form of the Goddess Lakshmi, so he organizes a swayamvar for her in such a way that only Lord Vishnu can fulfill it. He states that the man who can lift and string the Shiv dhanush will be his daughter's groom, and Sita too accepts this vow as her own, seeing it as the only way to attract Lord Vishnu to Mithila. 😉

This is all we know about their childhood. Anything else shown in TVs or movies is creative license.

@RamkiJanaki after watching episodes, I feel they will show Kousalya as rude MIL to show Sita as ideal bahu. because I know daily soaps are expert in butchering characters. making daily is easiest way to spoil epic's Uniqueness.

Yes, it was a really cute scene and I loved baby Sita, but the scene had two bloopers in itself.

1) The bow was never strung until Ram strung it in the swayamvar.

2) Sita was much older (a child) when she lifted the bow. They should have shown the current child Sita lifting the bow. Showing it in her infancy was rushed and unneeded.
