「子供は人の父」（ワーズワース）: 子供の心はいかに形成されていくか

摘要

幼児の心は，段階的に形成されていく．混然一体となり，一次曲線的に形成されていくのではない．たとえば0歳から2歳頃までの乳幼児期．エリクソンという学者は，この時期を「信頼関係の構築期」と位置づけている．信頼関係……つまり母子の間における信頼関係をいう．%By knowing children, we can know ourselves better. William Wordsworth once wrote, "The Child is Father of the Man". Once we were all children and our minds were formed during this age of childhood. In this article I have written about the process of how the minds of children are formed in stages from the age of infancy to adolescence. I hope this article will be of some help to you in getting to know yourselves better.
