	Jean-Jaques Rousseau and informal education
		Rousseau was brought up first by his father (Issac) and an aunt (his mother died a few days after his birth), and later and by an uncle.
		Rousseau believed it was possible to preserve the original nature of the child by careful control of his education and environment based on an analysis of the different physical and psychological stages through which he passed from birth to maturity (Stewart and McCann 1967).
		Rousseau believes that by the time Émile is fifteen, his reason will be well developed, and he will then be able to deal with he sees as the dangerous emotions of adolescence, and with moral issues and religion.
