Studies concerning the extension of childhood􀀡  \nGeorg Kühlewind  \nPeople from different cultures often experience difficulties understanding one another; they are often intolerant or hostile toward one another. We can hardly stand it when people are different. Many exterminated groups of people were not inferior to their executioners, just different and, above all--less egotistical.  \nThis is not new. In the New Testament (John 15: 25) we find the Lord saying,\"they hated me without a cause,\" which is a quote from two Psalms (69: 4 and 35: 19) .\"Without cause,\" but not without ground. For what the Lord represented was true humanity, true nondogmatic wisdom and goodness of the kind which is not based in texts but intuitively finds the moral, creative thing to do in each situation. He reminds His fellow human beings of what they could be; but being faced with the challenge to change in accordance with one's own ideal picture easily tends to call forth hatred against the one who represents this picture. Christ purposely mentions the young child in the New Testament as a kind of ideal for humanity (Matt. 18: 2; 18: 10; 19: 13; Mark 9: 33; 10:  \n13; Luke 9: 46; 18: 15) . And even among His disciples we see a failure to understand the essence of childhood (Matt. 19: 13; Mark 10: 13; Luke 18: 15) .  \nThen, as now, the world of the grown-ups was different from the world of  \nchildren. The difference only increased with time. What exactly is the difference?  \n􀀡 This article is published by permission of the author from Das Goetheanum: Wochenschrift für Anthroposophie, Nr. 13, 30 March 2003.

Grown-ups, on the other hand, experience the world dualistically, in a subject-object relationship. A non-dualistic experience means that there is no distance; a relationship isnot established through thinking, but in a dreaming \"clairfeelance,\" The adult, too, makes an immediate connection through feeling; feeling bridges the gap because of the immediate identification which takes place, as is the case in an emotion or in an artistic experience. The \"separation\" from the world is caused by the antipathy forces 1, or, put indifferent words, it is brought about by the building up of the \"me-feeling. \"2  \nThe new generation can be broadly characterized as lacking this built-up \"mefeeling\" in many children. The separation from the world--spiritual from physical--isin many cases less pronounced than used to be the case with children of the same age inan earlier generation; as a result, the separating forces take effect later or slower. In this respect, these children are late compared to \"normal\" children; due to this lateness in development these children are fundamentally different in nature. Sympathy forces predominate, resulting in numerous \"deviations\" from the usual capacities and achievements required at school, in the kindergarten, or at home.  \nThese new children live in a picture-like3 or feeling \"thinking\" instead of a linear, conceptual thinking (we can feel the meaning of a picture; it speaks to us aesthetically) . Being strongly connected with things, also with their own inner gestures of consciousness, they have difficulties forming concepts, which is the central aim of  \neducation in most schools. Forming concepts always demands a selective narrowing of attention. For example, when we try to awaken a sense for the concept \"smooth,\" we will show the child several objects with a smooth surface; in the process, the child has to disregard form, size, substance and function of the object and focus instead on the intended concept, namely \"smoothness. \" As long as the child still relates to things by identifying, this \"disregarding\" cannot be carried out; such a child will stay behind when asked to","cbCaihaHzr947jPD","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihaHzr947jPD","pdf",73222,"English","# In What Respect Are Star Children Different?\n## Different from the executioners and society\n## Child vs. grown-up perception\n## Me-feeling and delayed separation\n## Picture-like thinking and concept formation\n## Consequences in school, testing, and treatment","[{\"question\":\"What does the text say is the main difference in how children experience the world?\",\"answer\":\"Little children experience the world as unified with themselves and identify with it, while grown-ups experience it dualistically through a subject-object relationship.\"},{\"question\":\"How does “me-feeling” relate to the development of Star children?\",\"answer\":\"The text argues that many new children lack a strongly built-up “me-feeling,” so separation from the world happens later or more slowly, shaping their nature and capacities.\"},{\"question\":\"Why might Star children struggle with forming concepts at school?\",\"answer\":\"Because they live more in picture-like or feeling-based thinking and find it difficult to narrow attention selectively, which concept formation requires.\"}]","In What Respect Are Star Children Different? | PDF",1787685477,25]
