New Psychological Perspective : Allowing Children To Seek Out Formation On Their Own

It is a given that when children are very young, they are like unformed clay, ready to receive the impressions of their environment. The people around children confer on them their sense of identity and the strategies they use to relate to the world. Thusly, do children become an amalgamation of both their innate disposition as results from their genetic inheritance, and the instructions they receive from their environment.

What if children were left as unformed clay for a longer period of time?

Come On Say "Mommy!" Come On Say, "Daddy!"


It is understandable, that parents want to communicate with their children as soon as possible. Parents are eager to share their perspective on life with their offspring, and hear how their children see the world.

It is understandable, but is it the best course of action?

What Do You Say To The Nice Person?

Please.
Thank you.
Politeness is an admirable trait, but is it truly helpful to a child when they are forming the sense of their relationship to the universe?

Does the insistence adults and society place on children learning social norms quickly truly lead to human beings who are genuinely healthy?

A.D.D.

The incidence of A.D.D. is very high in our world.

Could it be that the openness children need for preparation to adapt to society is being too rapidly turned off to make room for societal programming?
Could this result in children who still were not ready to make the adjustment to a segmented and structured world?

More Time To Be Children

Simply put, what is proposed here is that children be allowed to find their own way.

For children to allow natural human curiosity to create children's formation for them.

Enough with the insistence on children learning to speak quickly (my child could talk when he/she was 2!), read quickly, be socially acceptable quickly.

Adapting To "Limited" Human Existence

Children come into the human existence as direct conduits to the limitless, to the truly universal.
To adapt to the limited existence of human beings requires a great deal of adjustment.
So that the adjustment does not result in an unbalanced mind and spirit, I believe it would be infinitely better to allow children to seek out their formation on their own.

The New Way
  1. Allow Children To Say Mama and Dada When They're Ready
  2. Allow Children To Interact With Strangers In The Way They Are Comfortable (as long as they aren't violent, that needs to be explored thoroughly)
  3. Allow Children To Ask Questions About Their World On Their Own
  4. Allow Children To Seek Out Reading On Their Own
  5. Allow Children To Stare Off Into Space (They Are Enjoying The Infinite)
  6. Allow Children To Not Speak Until They Want To

What Should Parents Do?

Enjoy their children of course.

Enjoy watching the marvel that is human beings before "mind" and "limitation" takes over.

What Kind Of Human Beings Will Result?

Human beings who can interact in our limited social framework, but who have maintained their connection to the universe and to the infinite and who don't bear the scars of having been forced into adapting to the world of form too soon.
