Synopsis
Time and the Child examines how children grow, how adults guide them, and how our ideas about morality and reality shape education and daily life. It presents a thoughtful approach to encouraging growth, acceptance of reality, and the balance between letting be and guiding development.
Drawing on lectures and reflective analysis, the book explores how language, desire, will, and phantasy influence behavior. It emphasizes practical ways to support a child’s growth, while challenging rigid moral judgments. The author argues that real progress comes from accepting the present moment and the child as they are, not from forcing instant change.
- How to encourage without stifling the child’s natural development

- Ways to understand will-power, reality, and the time needed for growth
