“What is it that is done to our children that their puberty should deform them? They have the joy of movement; they have an enterprising curiosity; they are ready for sensible self-denial; they dream ahead, and they have a faithful memory, and, above all, great compassion...

All this is lost to memory and we can only reconstruct it through analogies in later life....To the child who takes his first steps and finds himself walking alone, this moment must bring the first sharp sense of the uniqueness and separateness of his body and his person, the discovery of the solitary self.” FirstsChildrenPersonsSelfMomentsBodyLostImaginationMemoriesStepsTerribleWalkingDiscoveryIndependentFirst StepsSolitaryUniquenessSolemnAnalogiesSeparatenessWalking Alone Author:Selma Fraiberg
