More Rites of Passage

When a child reaches the "Terrible Twos" they seem to get into a lot of trouble. At this age they realise that they are not continuous with the rest of the world. They try hard to find where "I" stops and the rest of the world begins. It is important to give the child strong direction at this stage so that they are able to define themselves in the world. If the child doesn't learn where there boundaries they will always be angry and when they grow up they will be insecure because they don't know who they are. Rites of passage are part of this important process and they a child will grow up to have an anchor for their soul.
