Abstract:
Childhood is the root of life, which is the basis supporting the principle of “child-centeredness”. Childhood has abundant resource of human nature. The adult is the successor as well as the beneficiary to the childhood resource. From the point of individual development, becoming adult is the end of children’s growth. But from the idea of “returning to the baby”, the end of life is the return of childhood; that is say, childhood is the ultimate goal of life. From the perspective of human evolution, the child is a natural end. Childhood resource is the foundation of life and civilization. Not only the children’s education should stick to the principle of “child-centeredness”, the progress of civilization also needs to stick to this principle so as to return to human nature as envisioned by Karl Marx.
