Additional Comments on Level 6:
Level 7-Multi-cause, Comparative, and Triangular thinking-Pre-Adolescents The child is able to explore multiple reasons for a feeling, comparing feelings, and understanding triadic interactions among feeling states (“I feel left out when Susie likes Janet better than me.”) Finding an indirect road to problem solve. Example: John wants to be Sarah’s friend. He sees that Tom is Sarah’s friend, so John becomes Tom’s friend. This type of thinking is more expansive and even a little manipulative. He learns to “work the crowd” to satisfy his social needs. During this stage the child becomes more interested in his body and sexual relations. These feelings may cause the child to be fearful. Nurture him through his fears and help him to understand his feelings. It is a good sign when a child becomes manipulative in a triangular way. Understanding the three person system the child becomes interested in all facets of their world: sex, death, where did I come from?, etc.. Some children experience fear and anxiety dealing with this.

Additional Comments on Level 8:
Level 9-Intermittent Reflective Thinking, a Stable Sense of self, and an internal standard Reflecting on feelings in a relationship to an internalized sense of self (“It’s not like me to feel so angry” or “I shouldn’t feel this jealous”) The child begins to internalize values and develops a greater sense of self that can’t be broken down by lack of acceptance by peer group. Example: Sally was mean to me because she was having a bad day, but I’m still a good person.
