Child Anti-Socialization

Once you pull out of that ego centric stage, where you're playing with yourself, then you have to integrate other people into your play. Otherwise, you're not accepted by your peers. And so that's another thing that's very interesting is that it is precisely those children who aren't accepted by their peers that insist that their self definitions rule. So I, this is both frightening and it's making me happy in the sense that I believe that the model that we are wrestling to the surface here is accurate and it doesn't fit what most people are expecting is going on.
