At this time, the sense of self assumes a form that awakens in the child a relationship to nature and to the world about him such that one can now talk to him more about the connections between things and processes themselves, whereas previously he was interested almost exclusively in things and processes only in relationship to man. Facts of this kind in a human being's development ought to be most carefully observed by the educator. For if one introduces into the child's world of concepts and feelings what coincides just at that period of life with the direction taken by his own developing powers, one then gives such added vigor to the growth of the whole person that it remains a source of strength throughout life. If in any period of life one works against the grain of these developing powers, one weakens the individual.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"14.

Da nimmt das Ich-Gefühl eine Form an, welche dem Kinde ein solches Verhältnis zur Natur und auch zur andern Umgebung gibt, so daß man zu ihm mehr von den Beziehungen der Dinge und Vorgänge zueinander sprechen kann, während es vorher fast ausschließlich Interesse entwickelt für die Beziehungen der Dinge und Vorgänge zum Menschen. Solche Tatsachen der Menschenentwickelung sollen von dem Erziehenden und Unterrichtenden ganz sorgfältig beachtet werden. Denn wenn man in die Vorstellungs- und Empfindungswelt des Kindes hineinträgt, was in einem Lebensabschnitt gerade mit der Richtung der Entwickelungskräfte zusammenfällt, so erstarkt man den ganzen werdenden Menschen so, daß die Erstarkung das ganze Leben hindurch ein Kraftquell bleibt.
