It's hard to propose a $100 laptop for a world community of kids and then not say in the same breath that you're going to depend on the community to make software for it.

One of the many interesting and surprising experiences of the beginner in child analysis is to find in even very young children a capacity for insight which is often far greater than that of adults.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Beginners in child analysis often discover that young children possess a remarkable ability to understand complex emotions, sometimes surpassing adults.
This quote by Melanie Klein highlights the unexpected depth of insight that young children can exhibit in the context of child analysis. It suggests that children, despite their age and experience, can demonstrate a profound understanding of emotions and psychological concepts, challenging the assumption that maturity correlates directly with depth of insight. Klein's observation encourages educators and analysts to recognize and value the perspectives of children, who can provide valuable insights that may be overlooked by adults.
