EP 16 Principles #16a and #17- Helping the child learn to control his will
Manage episode 480411837 series 2804348
“There are two guides to moral and intellectual self-management to offer to children, [the first] we may call 'the way of the will'...
The way of the will: Children should be taught,
(a) to distinguish between 'I want' and 'I will.'
(b) That the way to will effectively is to turn our thoughts from that which we desire but do not will.
(c) That the best way to turn our thoughts is to think of or do some quite different thing, entertaining or interesting.
(d) That after a little rest in this way, the will returns to its work with new vigour. ” (Vol 6, p. 128)
