Child Psychology – Early Childhood
Characteristics of early childhood: (2 to 6 yrs.)
i) Early childhood is a distinctive period in the life span. It is a problem age or troublesome age for parents since most of them are centered around the baby’s physical care. In childhood, behavior problems become more frequent and more troublesome than the physical care problems in babyhood. Since the behavior problems dominate the early childhood, the young children develop distinctive personalities and aspire for independence. Also, they are very often obstinate, stubborn, disobedient, protesting and antagonistic. They are often bothered by day dreams at night and irrational fears during day times and suffer from jealousies.
ii) The dependency during babyhood changes to independence on attaining childhood age. In many occasions, they seem to reject the help offered by elders. Still, the early childhood is an age of playing with toys in most of the time. When the children enter the first standard in school, they begin to be engaged in games and modified form of sports without toys. Anyhow, when alone, the children are seen to play with toys.

Witches Are For Burning – Insights From Quantum Psychology
A new psychology, quantum psychology, is bringing new insights into how both individuals and societies can stop repeating the past. As individuals, we can rapidly free ourselves from our past traumatic experiences, and achieve higher consciousness, by communicating with our unconscious minds in its own language – pictures. To acquire the open mind we need to accommodate an expanding consciousness, we also need to liberate ourselves from another aspect of our past: the beliefs and concepts we acquired from our social indoctrination, which is really a form of brainwashing. Social progress occurs when we morally confront the dark side of our society, information the winners left out when they wrote the history books. Presently, the history that we need to morally confront and bring into America’s mainstream culture, is a time when “witches” were for burning.
While America has made substantial progress in morally confronting the genocide of Native Americans and slavery, we have barely begun to morally confront the dark side of Christianity. In particular, we need to examine events that occurred in the Middle Ages, the thousand years between the fall of the Roman Empire and the Enlightenment. These were the formative years of modern Western Civilization, during which Judeo-Christianity replaced the secular humanism world view of the Greco-Roman world. Western Europe became a tyrannical theocracy, during which the Catholic Church controlled every aspect of people’s lives. This was a time of extreme brutality and suffering, a time when women were demonized by men struggling to be celibate, a time when upwards of one million women were tortured and burned alive. We have not yet fully recovered from these traumatic experiences.

Psychology Today – Depression and Dreams
Because we have discovered the existence of the wild side of the human conscience, and because of the wisdom and goodness of the unconscious mind that produces dreams, today we know exactly how to translate dream messages. The wild side of the conscience provokes craziness in the human side because the wild anti-conscience is a priori schizophrenic.
Today we know that we can trust the unconscious mind. We know that dream messages are warnings, teachings and psychotherapy for our human conscience that needs to be developed to eliminate the dangerous anti-conscience.
