9. It is extremely important that the educators are able to see the individual characteristics of the child and help to find the right direction for the child.
Teaching can be absorbed by children extremely quickly, just to observe the features of the child. He remembers more of what he has already learned. But it is especially useful if instead of new knowledge the child will be helped to remember what is already in it. The easier it is to learn new things afterward, but you should observe them. (Br., 276)
It is instructive how information and proclivities already appear in childhood, which cannot be explained by any other reason than the previous accumulation. All the more so, it is necessary to keep an eye on such independent aptitudes, they can show talents that can be distorted in the ugly upbringing afterward... (Br., 152)
If there is a child in the circle of action who is attracted by special reasons, smile at him and spread his consciousness that these actions are his home. Children sometimes come at a special call. Give them what is prepared by their past. Fruit is poured with juice when the roots are strong. (A.J., 3O1)
Cognition is a special quality of consciousness. It does not depend on the intellect; it does not depend on the environment; it does not depend on school education — it is composed in the heart... It is especially important to observe such people from a young age. They are different from those around them and as if know their purpose. Sometimes this knowledge is manifested even in unexpected words. Sometimes the child's actions show how much the spirit is looking for something specific, but usually such aspirations are not understood. The sacred feature of calling for ascent is very ridiculous. But in a future era, it is precisely these special cognizance that will be appreciated. (А., 271)
1О. When expanding the consciousness of children, it is necessary to be especially sensitive. ...it is especially important to protect the body up to seven years of age. Even the most developed children do not need to rape nature — Fire does not tolerate violence. You need to be able to open the door, but any violence can cause irreparable harm.
On the other hand, it is not necessary to make the child's aspiration too easy, because the condition of excessive help leads to flabbiness. This is how the Golden Way is commanded. (Golden Way) (M.O., 1, 19) What are the most important concepts children should learn from an early age?
11. From an early age, a child should hear about the infinity of being.
The driver's hand, already at the first step, should pay attention and point to distant worlds. Infinity should smell the young eye...(Ob., 2-X-4)
The Fire World should be talked about by even the youngest of us. But it must also be said that there is no emptiness and there is no loneliness. We can thus approach the question of the Protector and the Leader. Children will get used to the idea that there is nothing secret. Such a foundation will serve them as a faithful defense against fear. It is especially harmful when ignorant parents begin to assure the child is not afraid, because there is nothing. Such a grain of denial will darken your whole life and break your consciousness. The child knows very well that there is something everywhere. He sees many images and even fiery ones. Unknown children and adults come to the child to play. Ignorant doctors begin to fill these insights with bromine as if sealing their wings with lead. But not poisons will help! Only a sensible explanation of reality will make children healthy... (MOSCOW, 1, 379)
12. I think it is possible to direct children from their youngest years to the knowledge of the Higher World. It will not be violence, because it will help children to remember a lot that is soon forgotten. Moreover, such a manifestation will wake up in incomparably beautiful forms. (А., 166)
13. From an early age, children should hear about the Thin and Fiery Worlds; they should understand the beginning of the Hierarchy and the good. The sooner they are reminded of the Hierarchy and other Truths, the easier it is for them to remember their previous knowledge. The concept of God in all its greatness will be purified on the basis of the Hierarchy. This is the only way the notion of the Highest will not remain distracted and will merge with all of Genesis... (M. O., 2, 188)
It is necessary to teach all seven years to remember the Hierarchy because after seven years the consciousness already gets an indelible trace for the whole life. (И., 224)
What a multitude of beautiful thoughts originates in a seven-year-old heart when the vague images of the Thin World have not yet left the brain and heart! (П.)
