Quote by Jonas Koblin

“BIRTH ORDER, n. The sequence in which children are born into a family. Firstborns, like only children, typically receive a lot of attention and later have a slightly higher IQ. Once there is more than one child in a family, children often compete viciously, or take opposing paths so they can’t be compared. See ALFRED ADLER.”

“SCHEMA, n. A mental template students use to process and categorize new information based on previous experiences. They do so by either assimilation or accommodation. For example, a child might have a schema for a dog that includes features like “four-legged” and “furry.” If the child encounters a cat for the first time, they might initially assimilate it into the “dog” schema. However, when her dad tries to hang a painting on the wall, and she then notices that the dog looks up to his master in full admiration while the cat observes the two in arrogance—realizing that the image is far from being hung straight—the child accommodates this new information by creating a new schema for "cat.”

“There is part of us that seems to be little better than an immature child, howling with misery and defeat when confronted by problems it regards as 'unfair.' This part of us is dangerous because we fail to recognize it as a separate entity, and may be unaware of its existence until it has betrayed us into some act of stupidity.”
