| Childhood is a poetic dwelling that numerous adults cherish and yearn so much. While the reality of childhood scene shows that the innocence of childhood is arrogated and the poetry of childhood is tainted. This article is based on the current situation of childhood alienation, and intended to revert to should-be childhood that is abundance. Alienation theory is beneficial to all kinds of harmful social phenomenon and points out the appropriate treatment to overcome these phenomena. Therefore, this study puts the unsatisfactory current childhood situation under the interpretation of the sight of alienation, in order to diagnose the "sick" childhood, and find the appropriate remedy.The so-called "childhood alienation" means that childhood encounters disturbance when childhood expands itself, so that childhood departs from the provision of the human nature and childhood itself. The current situation of childhood alienation performances that the self-objective position of childhood has lost, and the childhood has become a stage which exists only for preparing for adult stage; Children have been controlled and disciplined by adults, they have lost the should-be freedom. Through such childhood, children have been modeled to be the ones who lost their Muse nature, subjectivity and personality. The comprehensive development of children can been sidelined. While, the "alienation" shows us the "dangerous" aspect of the crisis of childhood, it also shows us the "opportunity":Since "alienation" means the departure from the nature, the remedy to childhood alienation implies that we should respect and revert to the human nature. It requires us to hold "the human nature" comprehensively and deeply, as a premise for the treatment of childhood alienation. The conception of the human nature is that the individual has an innate, genetically acquired tendency, which is common or unique to the individual. The reasons why we should respect the nature lies in the following reasons:Firstly, the human nature is the provision of the nature and the inherent basis of human, he is no longer a man if he lost the human nature. Secondly, the human nature is formed through the long evolutionary history, it is prior in time and logic, so the nature cannot be changed and taught, we can only respect it. Thirdly, the virtue is the representation of the human nature, it is humanitarian and good if we respect the human nature. Last but not least, childhood is the process that the nature expands itself, and the nature plays a very important role in childhood, children cannot grow healthily unless respect the nature. We can see that, respecting the nature fits in with the natural, logical and ethical rules. It also fits in with the need of purpose and regularity. So, it can heal the alienation of childhood. As a result, we should respect the should-be place for the nature in the coordinate of childhood:the nature provides the starting point for education, and provides the internal power of growth process, it also points out the direction of education. Therefore children's growth process starts from the point of the human nature, and under the action of the internal dynamics of the human nature and other external forces, it experiences the spiraling process and revert to the nature in a higher degree.Specifically, if we want to respect the nature, we should respect the status of childhood as the ends of itself and the whole life; We should give children the freedom of time, space and the way of thinking, so that the childhood would be a freedom kingdom; We should respect the status of children as the ends but not the means, respect the Muse nature, subjectivity and personality, ensuring the comprehensive development of children. Moreover, respecting the nature helps to construct the ideal life of individual; it also helps to cure the adult world of alienation; it even facilitates the construction of the healthy society and harmonious world. They are all beneficial to providing appropriate external conditions for the childhood. |
