Find ways - Paul Moor about these children

"If we consider the educational treatment as we can be such children in our homes given, we realize how much they amount again only one attempt at improvement of life and order of life, without being able to ignite the spark in the first place, the force to hergäbe to experience all the sense Sometimes the education may move towards on this one;. but she knows it too little clearly, they feel it myself not in its full urgency and can not get through, so she is itself too little covered by it. . The educators in the home have probably themselves what they should give to the child in such a situation, but they have long since taken in forms that are only their own lives properly, a measured, moderate, pacified life you have probably had similar experiences. and have it passed, but never met them in such devastating force, and therefore their own emotion is not enough to connect with the needs of the child entrusted to them.

Do we want to help them, then we must above all know this, that we most of what we want to give them myself only to learn still have in each individual case all over again."
