“The discussion of the game of marbles seems to have led us into rather deep waters. But in the eyes of children the history of the game of marbles has quite as much importance as the history of religion or of forms of government. It Is a history, moreover, that is magnificently spontaneous; and it was therefore perhaps not entirely useless to seek to throw light on the child's judgment of moral value by a preliminary study of the social behaviour of children amongst themselves.” ChildrenLightSeemsGovernmentEyeFormValuesGamesSocialWaterMoralStudyJudgmentImportanceUselessDiscussionBehaviourSpontaneousMarbleForms Of GovernmentMoral ValuesMoral JudgmentDeep WaterEyes Of A Child Author:Jean Piaget
“The relations between parents and children are certainly not only those of constraint. There is spontaneous mutual affection, which from the first prompts the child to acts of generosity and even of self-sacrifice, to very touching demonstrations which are in no way prescribed. And here no doubt is the starting point for that morality of good which we shall see developing alongside of the morality of right or duty, and which in some persons completely replaces it.” WayFirstsChildrenPersonsSelfParentDoubtSacrificeDutyMoralityRelationStartingAffectionDevelopingGenerosityNo DoubtMutualTouchingSpontaneousDemonstrationConstraintsSelf SacrificeStarting PointPromptsChildren And Parents Book:The Moral Judgement of the Child Source: The Moral Judgement of the Child
