아동심리학의 기독교적 조망 = Christian Perspective on Child Psychology

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

God loves `first Adam` as He made him in His image. But Adam was afraid and kept himself from God after his first meeting with the serpent. Inspite of that Got spent His only son to us and request a new relationship. Jesus Christ who came in this world scold the wicked and adulterous generation but acknowledged and received the little children. If the first Adam who stand in front of God and a little child before Jesus all were good, we also regard little ones as good. When the chief priests and teachers of the law saw the children shouting in the temple area, Hosanna to the Son of David, they were indignant but Jesus said from the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise(Mt 21:15-16). God didn`t judgment our defaults but want to see the attitude with which we ashamed ourselves and ask to His forgiveness. Adults, however, can`t realize their hypocrisy and reject the children from the way to relief. Jesus told us their angeles in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven(Mt 18:10) and said I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children(Mt 11:25). We must thank to God for our fine childlike mind which are very small but remain yet in our deep heart. The truth is not far from us but in our nearest mind. Thus we have to change and become like little children(Mt 18:3-5). This is the only way to meet again with God our Lord. Traditionally and currently many child psychologists take the view point to the weakness of children`s abilities compared with adult especially in cognitive domain. In this paper, however, the power of children`s mind of imagination, intuition especially his need to being with God as `first Adam`. And the values of children to restore the `God`s Image` was discussed.
