Young chimpanzees learn mainly by copying what they see their mothers, and other members of the group, does.
Chimp mothers raise their chimp kids in almost a similar way to humans. When they are young, they breastfeed and carry them until they get to the age where they can find food on their own.

chimp babies are taken care of their mothers for 8 to 7 years
The chimpanzee teaches its chimp to stay safe, to groom, to behave according to the community, and to gather food.
Chimpanzee mothers teach their young how to survive and thrive as members of their species. Like human babies, chimp babies imitate their mother, and that is how they learn. When they are old enough, baby chimps are taught how to hunt for food, how to avoid predators, how to find water, etc. Baby chimps also learn the social hierarchy, such as how to show respect for older chimps, proper ways to show affection for others, and how to handle unfriendly chimps (how to deal with conflict).
At around 8 weeks, anytime before that is too young because the mothers need to teach their young manners and the pups will get out of their biting phase earlier as the mothers will make them know it's wrong.
