Play Is The Most Natural Method Of

In The Social Jungle Of Human Existence, There Is No Feeling Of Being Alive Without A Sense Of Identity.

You See A Child Play, And It Is So Close To Seeing An Artist Paint, For In Play A Child Says Things Without Uttering A Word. You Can See How He Solves His Problems. You Can Also See What's Wrong. Young Children, Especially, Have Enormous Creativity, And Whatever's In Them Rises To The Surface In Free Play.

If One Sees The Personality Not As An Apparatus That Is Essentially Constructed By The Time Childhood Is Over, But As Always In Its Essence Developing, Then Life At 25 Or 30 Or At The Gateway To Middle Age Will Stimulate Its Own Intrigue, Surprise, And Exhilaration Of Discovery.

The Growing Child Must Derive A Vitalizing Sense Of Reality From The Awareness That His Individual Way Of Mastering Experience (his Ego Synthesis) Is A Successful Variant Of A Group Identity And Is In Accord With Its Space-time And Life Plan.

There Is In Every Child At Every Stage A New Miracle Of Vigorous Unfolding.
