Age 12-18
As in the period from 0-6, this child is going
through period of rapid growth and emotional changes.
Especially in the first three years he will need more
sleep, time to think, contact with nature. This is not the
time to pile on intellectual work and risk causing
frustration, rudeness and the desire to escape.
This is in a way a romantic age, and a child
respond to music, literature, poetry and drama.
They can be drawn into an understanding
of all of humanity through these studies, and
into creations of their own as a way to explore
and come to understand their own developing
emotions as they pass from the stage of
childhood to that of being adult.
