where it now is, life wise, and how it was helped to overcome
the obstacles it has so far encountered. On a daily basis this
child is learning, learning how to deal with the every day
events of life. A child on awakening is immediately ready for
action. Its survival instincts cause it to be alert for the next
event, even it is to fight the parent into changing its clothing
from night to day attire. Of course it isn’t fighting but merely
testing the parent to see how they might react. In these times
many parents don't have time for such games and react
impatiently. Then the game becomes a struggle, each reacting
to the other. If there is time then the game becomes one of
love and gentle bonding, and becomes a co-operation. In order
to share love there needs to be love present and of course God
is that love.

To the three year old the world becomes a bigger place with
the boundaries further away than before. It will seek further to
fulfil its curiosity. It will find that the "no" word is used by its
parents more frequently and that it can generate panic and
mayhem just by pushing towards those boundaries. This child
does not have an awareness of fear not its own limitations. It
has become removed from spiritual awareness, and
consequently its conscience, and has test to find right from
wrong. Even at this stage, three years old, the child can
benefit so much by the memory of its Spirit origins and will
often respond in a remarkable way to being helped remember.
It will be found that the child enjoys tales of the now unseen
world, the world that is now fantasy, a world where it has
security and comfort. It will enjoy stories of angels and fairies
