3.10 From The Child Psychology

These themes are slightly aside from the main one discussed by kids. Still, as I mentioned, they are obviously in close relationship.
Child Greediness
There are certain phenomena in child behaviour, commonly regarded as greediness. Children dislike and have a hard time sharing things they are attached to. The attachment can emerge at once, like a love at first sight. As far as parents regard this kind of behaviour as greediness, they try hard to disapprove and "fix'' it. In reality, this means that parents and other adults simply hurt the normal psychological development of a child. The phenomena we are discussing is of absolutely different nature. It is not an ethical issue but one of pure "construction" of the child psyche. In the early years, consciousness is not the same as that of an adult. It is constructed primarily from "child's things": habitual clothes, toys, furniture, all the habitual things surrounding the child, but not just habitual things. A habit is one way to develop attachment, and the attachment to a thing is an element of child's consciousness. When adults try to remove something "accepted" by the child they plainly damage his consciousness in its current stage. If the child gets used to letting go of things easily, he or she will never be a normal person capable of "attachment'' to other people, ideas, values... This will be the case of a person having no soul in a sense.
Child Aping
There is another phenomenon in child behaviour, regarded by some as "aping'' (mimicking, repeating, mocking). Children tend to repeat one after another. It is generally regarded as something not-quite-positive, while in reality is another extremely important part of child development. It is a way to acquire ideas, expressions, some activities, etc. There is no way for psyche to develop normally without such aping.
