After reading chapter one and two one thing that surprised me was chapter one identity needs. Before reading the example of the young boy digging for vegetables, I assumed that an individual identity was established through their environment, what toys they played with, watching other people on television and things of that nature. I am currently witnessing what the identity needs chapter explained about the young boy and girl. My friend has a daughter who’s two; she doesn’t go to daycare and rarely be around others, just her mom. She can barely talk and can’t walk either. As I looked at other two year olds I wondered why she isn’t as advanced as others but reading this section in chapter one revealed why.
