You see a child play, and it ...

You see a child play, and it is so close to seeing an artist paint, for in play a child says things without uttering a word. You can see how he solves his problems. You can also see what's wrong. Young children, especially, have enormous creativity, and whatever's in them rises to the surface in free play.

Erik Erikson 42 quotes

Parents must not only have ce...

Parents must not only have certain ways of guiding by prohibition and permission, they must also be able to represent to the child a deep, almost somatic conviction that there is meaning in what they are doing.

Erik Erikson 42 quotes

Mans true taproots are nourished in the sequence of generations, and he loses his taproots in disrupted developmental time, not in abandoned localities.

There is in every child at every stage a new miracle of vigorous unfolding.

Erik Erikson 42 quotes

Babies control and bring up t...

Babies control and bring up their families as much as they are controlled by them; in fact ... the family brings up baby by being brought up by him.

Erik Erikson 42 quotes

The growing child must derive...

The growing child must derive a vitalizing sense of reality from the awareness that his individual way of mastering experience (his ego synthesis) is a successful variant of a group identity and is in accord with its space-time and life plan.

Erik Erikson 42 quotes

Life doesn't make any sense without interdependence. We need each other, and the sooner we learn that, the better for us all.

Erik Erikson 42 quotes

The sense of identity provide...

The sense of identity provides the ability to experience one's self as something that has continuity and sameness, and to act accordingly.

Erik Erikson 42 quotes

Hope is the enduring belief i...

Hope is the enduring belief in the attainability of fervent wishes, in spite of the dark urges and rages which mark the beginning of existence. Hope is the ontogenetic basis of faith, and is nourished by the adult faith which pervades patterns of care.

Erik Erikson 42 quotes

The playing adult steps sidew...

The playing adult steps sideward into another reality; the playing child advances forward to new stages of mastery.

Erik Erikson 42 quotes

These same experiences make o...

These same experiences make of the sequence of life cycles a generational cycle, irrevocably binding each generation to those that gave it life and to those for whose life it is responsible. Thus, reconciling lifelong generativity and stagnation involves the elder in a review of his or her own years of active responsibility for nurturing the next generations, and also in an integration of earlier-life experiences of caring and of self-concern in relation to previous generations.

Erik Erikson 42 quotes

Hope is both the earliest and...

Hope is both the earliest and the most indispensable virtue inherent in the state of being alive. Others have called this deepest quality confidence, and I have referred to trust as the earliest positive psychosocial attitude, but if life is to be sustained hope must remain, even where confidence is wounded, trust impaired.

Erik Erikson 42 quotes

Someday, maybe, there will ex...

Someday, maybe, there will exist a well-informed, well considered and yet fervent public conviction that the most deadly of all possible sins is the mutilation of a child’s spirit; for such mutilation undercuts the life principle of trust, without which every human act, may it feel ever so good and seem ever so right is prone to perversion by destructive forms of conscientiousness.

Erik Erikson 42 quotes

The fact that human conscienc...

The fact that human conscience remains partially infantile throughout life is the core of human tragedy.

Erik Erikson 42 quotes

When established identities b...

When established identities become outworn or unfinished ones threaten to remain incomplete, special crises compel men to wage holy wars, by the cruelest means, against those who seem to question or threaten their unsafe ideological bases.

Erik Erikson 42 quotes

If there is any responsibilit...

If there is any responsibility in the cycle of life it must be that one generation owes to the next that strength by which it can come to face ultimate concerns in its own way.

Erik Erikson 42 quotes

The American feels too rich in his opportunities for free expression that he often no longer knows what he is free from. Neither does he know where he is not free; he does not recognize his native autocrats when he sees them.

Erik Erikson 42 quotes

The richest and fullest lives...

The richest and fullest lives attempt to achieve an inner balance between three realms: work, love and play.

Erik Erikson 42 quotes

In America nature is autocratic, saying, "I am not arguing, I am telling you.

Adolescents need freedom to choose, but not so much freedom that they cannot, in fact, make a choice.
