This Is Exactly The Message That Fairy

The Goal In Raising One's Child Is To Enable Him, First, To Discover Who He Wants To Be, And Then To Become A Person Who Can Be Satisfied With Himself And His Way Of Life. Eventually He Ought To Be Able To Do In His Life Whatever Seems Important, Desirable, And Worthwhile To Him To Do; To Develop Relations With Other People That Are Constructive, Satisfying, Mutually Enriching; And To Bear Up Well Under The Stresses And Hardships He Will Unavoidably Encounter During His Life.

From A Child's Play, We Can Gain Understanding Of How He Sees And Construes The World--what He Would Like It To Be, What His Concerns Are, What Problems Are Besetting Him.

What Children Learn From Punishment Is That Might Makes Right. When They Are Old And Strong Enough, They Will Try To Get Their Ownback; Thus Many Children Punish Their Parents By Acting In Ways Distressing To Them.

To Be A Good Enough Parent One Must Be Able To Feel Secure In One's Parenthood, And One's Relation To One's Child...the Security Of The Parent About Being A Parent Will Eventually Become The Source Of The Child's Feeling Secure About Himself.

Fairy Tales Are Loved By The Child Not Because The Imagery He Finds In Them Conforms To What Goes On Within Him, But Because--despite All The Angry, Anxious Thoughts In His Mind To Which The Fairy Tale Gives Body And Specific Content--these Stories Always Result In A Happy Outcome, Which The Child Cannot Imagine On His Own.
