The Cast of Character Formation
A Cutting Edge Program designed for CDP Alumni and advanced level early childhood professionals
Diane Rankin, MD and Jane Sommer, MA
From the moment a child is conceived, she or he is imbued by parents with multiple attributes, among them character. How does this imagined offspring, and later the infant, toddler, and preschool child begin to develop character and a set of values? We will approach these questions and processes from a psychoanalytic point of view by exploring the child's inner psychic reality as well as behavior. In addition, we will look at how character can be nurtured - and not nurtured -by both family and the wider community of educators, institutions and spiritual leaders.
