Apacity Of Children In These: It seems likely that we, as a nation, underestimate the learning :apacity of children in these first years of life, because of our assump-:ions and accepted notions about young children. Received wisdom about very young children in UK society, or established 'regimes of ruth' (Foucault 1977), have resulted in our having one of the worst ecords of nursery provision in the European Union and even 'life-ong education' plans propose the start at three years of age.
This apacity particularly marks the beginning of the ireconceptual stage within the period of concrete perations. If Piaget has gratuitously assumed lore complicated structures than are necessary to xplain this type of behavior, the learning theorist as had little to say about the wide variety of ctivities and the degree of organization in be-avior that is observed in children at this stage.
There is an inherent positive value in childhood itself. This attitude, according to Margaret Lowenfeld, is more characteristic of English culture than of the United States. English children depend less on adults; they live more in a world of children of different ages. Adults do not generally enter this world except when something happens and the children do not know what to do. Children and parents are absorbed, each in their own concerns. Consequently, parents do not discuss before children adult problems which they consider outside the understanding of children.
