The child because of its experiences sees the world through different eyes, and orders it in different ways.The perspective of the child is fundamentally different and its actions correspondingly so. Who can say that our ordering of the world is any more logical than a child's? For a child, why should the concept of safety be any better than the word love? why should the word recovery be any better than the word abuse? When we see adult concepts, of safety, love and empathy leaving us, so why not describe in the terms of a kinder garden or a school playground (where the Childs intuition can come out to play coming into renewed contact means applying an application of ingenuity)?
The child withins ability to use behaviour in this way is not at all exceptional, as any child within given the right circumstance will testify. But because this intuitional ingenuity is common among children, it is no less wonderful, and no less important in helping them to study the course of the ten stages.
