Education and Childhood Traumas. The “Wounds” of Childhood from the Perspective of Dysfunctional Educational Consequences and the Premises of Implementing into Family Catechesis. „Big people are strange”, noticed Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s Little Prince. As a matter of fact, many people are “scarred”, victims of various educational fallacies of their own parents, carrying through their adult lives “wounds” which were produced during their childhood and which have still not been healed. The current article seeks to offer a warning in relation to such mistakes in early childhood, mistakes which often have dramatic and irreversible consequences for the whole life, such as: the denial of maternity, the (emotional) abandonment during pregnancy or early childhood, the neglect of teratogenic factors, hypercontrol versus lack of attention towards the child, the hyperprotective mother, the absentee father etc.

Keywords: educational fallacies, infancy traumas, rejective mother, maternity refusal, infancy abandonment, hospitalism, family ambience, teratogenic factors, excessive control, attention deficit, over-protective mother, absentee father
