* IMAGINATION HOW IT COMES TO CHILDREN?
° The basis of creative ability begins with the beginning of life in a process that finds its origin in the bond between the infant from birth to his mother.
° For the infant, his mother and he are one, if it can not survive without it, the child can not exist psychically through it. .. it depends so much of what she will induce in pleasure, but also in sharing frustration on : if there need to be a mother Perfecting Touch during the first months of life (up to 5 months), then it is normal and necessary for IT but for the father and child it is no longer available to answer any request:
AND AT THE VERY SMALL, IT'S BETWEEN THE NEED FOR CLEAR AND ITS NO IMMEDIATE SATISFACTION THAT THE ABILITY TO IMAGINE is established.
EX. hunger: from the 1st month of life, if your baby is hungry, he Cree and her mother appears: the gratification afforded by feeding him an anchor in the first memory of wholeness, a first representation of the mother who soothes, as and when this happy experience is repeated, trust and Homeland Security s 'install, if hunger is not filled in the moment, the baby finds a way to calm the frustration by imagining his mother's breast or the bottle .... the disappointment expressed by anger is appeased by the image he created to meet his expectations.
° So if the needs of the newborn are too quickly satisfied, he can develop solutions to support the imaginary time and soothe his impatience to fill a child too quickly prevents exploit and develop his faculties; the repeated experiences of different situations "relative lack of" rekindling the desire and entrench the imagination.
° It is therefore desirable to give the child time and space to convene its capacity to imagine: by extansion, the ability of the child to tolerate certain amount of frustration it will gradually develop the ability to create specific images in his inner world ... that is a compensatory provision essential to its future life ..
