ABSTRACT

Resilience would imply that the peoples could expect compliance on the part of the child without danger to the growth of the child's personality and to the establishment of the child's character. In a good nursery school a small group of toddlers can be given opportunity for play, and can be provided with suitable toys, and perhaps a better floor than the one available at home. And someone is always present to supervise the child's first experiments in social life, such as bashing the next child on head with a spade. The parents will have given a lot of thought to the management of this big change in their child's life. They will have talked about school, and the child has played at schools and has looked forward to the idea of experiencing an extension of bit of teaching that his mother and father and others have already put in.
