Seven Foals and the Sound of Silence

Universal truths lie behind the surface of timeless fairy tales. It is what makes fairy tales stand the test of time. The Seven Foals, allegorically, identifies the individuation of the child at seven years. The story then shows the rule of child development at the next stage of 7-14 years - self-authority, autonomy, self-ownership or internal monarchy. Allowing children to choose for themselves, to choose from what they can now hear inside of themselves for the first time from seven years of age - the sound of silence.
