ABSTRACT
A child is an active and dynamic entity. . . . Children develop their relationships to others through the use of their own creative powers and their ingenuity in trying to find their place. A child will try something: if it works and if it fits in with his goal, he retains it as a method of finding his personal identity. Sometimes the child may discover that the same technique fails to work with all people. Now he has two courses open to him. He can either retreat or refuse to cooperate with such a person, or he can use a new technique and develop an entirely different relationship.
