Excerpt from The Mental Development of a Child, Vol. 3: October, 1896
The attitude of mind in which an observer approaches the child must exert an important influence upon the interpretation of that which she observes. In imagination she may project herself into the infants life, regarding him as a bit of humanity, potentially rich in thoughts and emotions whose manifestations are to be met with in any form of activity whatsoever. The unfolding germs of mental life, she may be inclined to identify as the seed leaves of a glorious plant. Such an attitude is not conducive to an impartial interpretation of facts. To read too much between the lines may obscure the true meaning of the text. On the other hand, an observer may watch the child with intelligent interest to learn what she can of the processes of development. She weighs, sifts and classifies; she regards the child as a child, and not as a diminutive man. It is obvious that a well proportioned mixture of two such positions would give a basis upon which to accomplish most. She who is so profoundly imbued with the love of her subject that nothing is too trivial to evoke a sympathetic response, yet in whom the habit of reflection is so strong that no observation can be allowed to pass unmeasured and unclassified, will be the one to gather the greatest harvest of facts, to estimate justly the value of each, and its relation to all.
A condition of equal moment to that of the observer is that of the observed - the subject. Everything must be subservient to the comfort and welfare of the child. Over-excitement and fatigue are injurious to the child; and, as much intercourse with people produces both excitement and fatigue, observations must sometimes be brought to a standstill when one feels oneself on the verge of important disclosures. Nor can the young child always be made to act under a given set of conditions. The chances are that he may not respond to ones cleverly arranged experiment.
