As a child, like all others, I was innocent. Afterwards, like all the rest, I lost my innocence. I became engulfed in the adult world of commitments, of plans, of routines, etc. Now alongside my children, I feel like them. The adult world is made of conventions, social commitments and routines.
Children see things just as they are.
They have an extraordinary talent for disintegrating the roles they play, and for putting their fingers into the open wound. It's embarrassing for a father to correct his son, who has unforeseen explosions of anger that are photocopies of his own. Children guess emotions with an intensity and sensibility greater than ours and they show then with absolute spontaneity. Their trust in daddy and mommy is total. This normally provokes in the parents a strong desire to develop responsibility and self-control.
