Features: Mason believes that children are born as human beings. They are not inherently good or bad, but possess the potential to become either. Children have the ability to think and feel, and their souls can be ignited rather than being filled like containers. To raise children in an isolated child environment is to deceive them. This book provides a profound analysis of aspects such as our souls, bodies, wisdom, love, justice, conscience, and will. It warns us that children, like adults, have the same physical and mental makeup and should be treated fairly. Mason believes that children are born as human beings.
