#6 Reflections on the human mind

. ON LANGUAGE

 

In the morning I saw an interesting interview with a psychologist about the children development. His research results show that too early start with learning reading and writing, can lead to invalid development and dislexion actually. This is interesting cause it seems that childrens are being forced to develop skills before their minds are ready for, and it caused some disproportinal development and unnatural way of acquiring language structures.

Now I think, on the base of some theories, he convinced me actually. Drawings, playing, mimetic skills seem much important for the development of childern it seems, much important than we tend to believe...only after that the linguistic talents can evolve properly. Children cannot learn language before the evolve a mind that is able to deal with linguistics.

 

PS.* I've been writing for hours today and strugling with idea and thoughts I want to express. Between different languages there are many untranslatable expression. But translating ideas that are deep in our minds into verbal communication, isn't easy either.
