Question 1
Read the following passages carefully and answer the questions on it
In order to approach the problem of anxiety in play. Let us consider the activity of building and destroying a tower. Many a mother thinks that her little son is in 'destructive stage or even has a destructive personality' because after building a big tower, the boy cannot follow her advice to leave the tower for daddy to see but instead, must kick it and make it collapse. The almost maniac pleasure with which children watch the tower collapse in a second is a product of long play-labour has puzzled many, since the child does not appreciate it at all if his tower falls by accident or by an helpful uncle's hand. He, the builder, must destroy it himself. This game I should think arises from the not so distant experience of sudden falls at the very time when standing upright on wobbly legs afforded a new and fascinating perspective on existence. The child who consequently learns to make a tower to waver and collapse. In addition to the active mastering over a previously passive event, it makes one feel stronger to know that there is somebody weaker and towers, unlike sisters, cant cry and call 'mummy'.
