Growth and development through self-activity is Nature's greastest miracle.
Man creates himself according to the laws of growth and development.
It is only a cycle in which both adults and children take their places. The child is the constructor and maker of the adult man. The child is the father of the man.
In the pre-natal period the child has established all the vital organs which after birth are developed enough for survival.
In a parallel manner the foundations of the psychic life have been established.
Though there has been much development in the pre-natal period, the development of a child during the first 3 years after birth is unequalled in intensity and importance than any period that preceeds or follows the rest of the child's life.
