They learned from the environment surrounding them. From watching, listening and observing others and everything around them. 
He states, " the mind to be, as we say, white paper void of all characteristics, without any ideas. How comes it to be furnished? ... Whence has it all the materials of reason and knowledge? To this I answer, in one word, from experience: in that all our knowledge is founded, and from that it ultimately derives itself." (Crain, 2016, p.7). ]]> 2018-08-12 23:16:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mckaty206/98hi3zznhvhd/wish/272777880 mckaty206 https://padlet.com/mckaty206/98hi3zznhvhd/wish/272778869 Unlike Locke, Aries believed that children were like miniature adults. He believed that they were noticed as children only by their size; however, they were basically "preformed" little adults. In the Middle Ages most of the work that was available they thought the children could learn at ages 6-7; therefore, they would mix the children in with the adults. (Crain, 2016, p. 3 & 5).

He believed that children were not blank slates, but that they came with their own "modes" of feelings  and ways of thinking. He felt that nature played a key role in how children grew.
