The First Seven Years
I feel pretty sure that our basic personality, in addition to the tendencies we are born with, are generally formed by age seven. At age seven we are then developing our ability for abstract thought within the parameters of reality, if we have received the basics of a healthy, calm, caring, secure, nuturing environment. If our development in the critical first seven years has been interfered with by trauma of some nature, (war, death of family, divorce, exposure to violence, etc.) then we are at a disadvantage. We do not see ourselves in mainstreams of society and sometimes end up selling newspapers beside the highway in the hot sun.
