Staying with my niece Ananya who is in her toddler years I have a great time -playing with her, konjufying her....but most of all noticing how unspoilt, uncomplicated and truthful her emotional sensibilities are.
Having read Jean Piaget and Erikson's stages of psychosocial development and perhaps learnt a method to the learning curve of development of the ego from the primitive instincts of the id......I sometimes want to ask....do we need method? Do we want to give structure to an innocence we all value and cherish and in process perhaps take away from it the very freshness that characterises it- the gestalt, the entirety of it- unanalysed, as it were.?
