[Fantasia of the Unconscious by D. H. Lawrence]@TWC D-Link bookFantasia of the Unconscious CHAPTER VIII 19/47
And mostly, leave it alone, send it away to be with other children and to get in and out of mischief, and in and out of danger.
Forget your child altogether as much as possible. All this is the active and strenuous business of parents, and must not be shelved off on to strangers.
It is the business of parents _mentally_ to forget but dynamically never to forsake their children. It is no use expecting parents to know _why_ schools are closed, and _why_ they, the parents, must be quite responsible for their own children during the first ten years.
If it is quite useless to expect parents to understand a theory of relativity, much less will they understand the development of the dynamic consciousness.
But why should they understand? It is the business of very few to understand and for the mass, it is their business to believe and not to bother, but to be honorable and humanly to fulfill their human responsibilities.
