We are playing with fire when we skip the years of three, four, and five to hurry children into being age six.... Every child has ...a right to his fifth year of life, his fourth year, his third year. He has a right to live each year with joy and self-fulfillment. No one should ever claim the power to make a child mortgage his today for the sake of tomorrow.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The real dividing line between early childhood and middle childhood is not between the fifth year and the sixth year--it is more n...early when children are about seven or eight, moving on toward nine. Building the barrier at six has no psychological basis. It has come about only from the historic-economic-political fact that the age of six is when we provide schools for all.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Added man-made failure really hurts young children [under six]. No one has to contrive lessons for these youngsters so that they w...ill learn how to lose--they are losers too much of the time. No one has to put them in their place--they know all too well in their hearts the little place they are in. No one has to cut them down to size--their size is painfully small. At this stage in their development we are wise to stay away from competition, from games and races and contests with winners and losers. It matters too much to each child to come in first--they cannot stand the risk of competition.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Success matters very much to the under-six age group. These children want so desperately to be able to hold their heads high. They... sound exceedingly boastful: "I can count up to five...." "I can tie my shoes...." "I know how old I am. Do you want to see...?" Each child maintains his own public relations office. He is continuously concerned with getting his name and his skill and his knowledge and his power into the "headlines." But we mustn't be misled by this drumbeating. The bombast is as much for the child's benefit as for ours--he can't quite believe his own importance.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
He will deliver you from six troubles; in seven no harm shall touch you. In famine he will redeem you from death, and in war from ...the power of the sword. You shall be hidden from the scourge of the tongue, and shall not fear destruction when it comes. At destruction and famine you shall laugh, and shall not fear the wild animals of the earth. For you shall be in league with the stones of the field, and the wild animals shall be at peace with you.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery; you shall have no other gods before... me. You shall not make for yourself an idol, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, punishing children for the iniquity of parents, to the third and the fourth generation of those who reject me, but showing steadfast love to the thousandth generation of those who love me and keep my commandments. You shall not make wrongful use of the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not acquit anyone who misuses his name. Remember the sabbath day, and keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work. But the seventh day is a sabbath to the LORD your God; you shall not do any work -you, your son or your daughter, your male or female slave, your livestock, or the alien resident in your towns. For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but rested the seventh day; therefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day and consecrated it. Honor your father and your mother, so that your days may be long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you. You shall not murder. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or male or female slave, or ox, or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
For six years you shall sow your land and gather in its yield; but the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie fallow, so that ...the poor of your people may eat; and what they leave the wild animals may eat. You shall do the same with your vineyard, and with your olive orchard.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
