“All in all, the communally reared children of Israel are far from the emotional disasters that psychoanalytic theory predicted. Neither have they been saved from all personality problems, as the founders of the kibbutz movement had hoped when they freed children from their parents. In any reasonable environment, children seem to grow up to be themselves. There is no evidence that communal rearing with stimulating, caring adults is either the ruination or the salvation of children.” ChildrenProblemSeemsGrowsParentCommunityGrowing UpEnvironmentMovementEmotionalTheoryPersonalityEvidenceAdultsSalvationIsraelCaringSavedDisasterReasonableFoundersPsychoanalytic Author:Sandra Scarr
“A new world of complex relationships and feelings opens up when the peer group takes its place alongside the family as the emotional focus of the child's life. Early peer relationships contribute significantly to the child's ability to participate in a group (and in that sense, society), deal with competition and disappointment, enjoy the intimacy of friendships, and intuitively understand social relationships as they play out at school, in the neighborhood, and later in the workplace and adult family.” WorldChildrenPlayFeelingsSchoolSocialEnjoyAbilityDealsFocusGroupsEmotionalAdultsCompetitionComplexesDisappointmentIntimacyNeighborhoodNew WorldPeersWorkplaceSocial RelationshipsPeer GroupComplex Relationships Author:Stanley Greenspan
“In personal conversations between director and actor, the male directors that I've worked with are just as emotional.

“In our childhoods we either get all the social and emotional and ethical skills we need to be well adjusted adults, or we don't. Some of us don't know how to tell someone we like them. A lot of us get depressed and get wasted. Why don't we do something that makes us feel better? Because we don't know any other way.

“In undeveloped social groups, we find very little formal teaching and training. Savage groups mainly rely for instilling needed dispositions into the young upon the same sort of association which keeps adults loyal to their group. They have no special devices, material, or institutions for teaching save in connection with initiation ceremonies by which the youth are inducted into full social membership. For the most part, they depend upon children learning the customs of the adults, acquiring their emotional set and stock of ideas, by sharing in what the elders are doing.” ChildrenLittlesIdeasYoungSocialGroupsTeachingSpecialYouthEmotionalMaterialsDependsNeededTrainingAdultsConnectionsInstitutionsRelyDevicesCustomsAssociationLoyalSavagesFormalDispositionCeremonyEldersMembershipInitiationChildren LearningSocial Groups Book:Democracy and Education - An Introduction to the Philosophy of Education Source: Democracy and Education - An Introduction to the Philosophy of Education
