Arnold Gesell Quotes

• The child's personality is a product of slow gradual growth. His nervous system matures by stages and natural sequences. He sits before he stands; he babbles before he talks; he fabricates before he tells the truth; he draws a circle before he draws a square; he is selfish before he is altruistic; he is dependent on others before he achieves dependence on self. All of his abilities, including his morals, are subject to laws of growth. The task of child care is not to force him into a predetermined pattern but to guide his growth.

• La familia es a la vez un grupo biológico y cultural. Es biológica en el sentido de que es el mejor arreglo para engendrar hijos y protegerlos mientras son dependientes. Es un grupo cultural porque reúne en asociación íntima a personas de diferente edad y sexo que renuevan y remodelan las costumbres de la sociedad en la que nacen. El hogar sirve de "taller cultural" para la transmisión de viejas tradiciones y la creación de nuevos valores sociales.
