獨特的童年時期
對米德一家而言，教育是很重要的一環，但那並不僅指上學一事；瑪格利特的家人認為讓小孩整天待在室內並坐在書桌前是件錯誤的事，所以有幾年的時間，瑪格利特都待在家中自學，她的教學工作由祖母及其他家人負起，上課場地則時而室外，時而室內。
瑪格利特學會如何觀察事物並將眼睛看到的東西記錄下來，就像她媽媽懷她的時候所做的事。瑪格利特觀察身邊的每件事，如：大自然。但她對人特別感興趣。瑪格利特有兩個妹妹：普莉西拉 (Priscilla) 及伊莉莎白 (Elizabeth) ，她的祖母分派給她的功課就是觀察她的兩個妹妹並隨時做筆記。瑪格利特注意到即使還是個嬰孩，她們也各自擁有不同的個性，這兒有一頁瑪格利特的筆記，看起來像是她的小妹妹普莉西拉餓了！
Education was important to the Mead family, but that didn't always mean going to school. Margaret's family thought it was wrong for children to have to sit at desks indoors all day long, so Margaret spent several years at home learning from her grandmother and the rest of the family, both indoors and outdoors.
Margaret learned how to observe things and write down what she saw, just as her mother had done with her. Margaret observed everything around her, including nature, but especially people. Margaret had two younger sisters, Priscilla and Elizabeth. Her grandmother assigned her to watch them and take notes. Margaret noticed that they had different personalities, even when they were babies. Here's a page from Margaret's notes. It sounds like her little sister, Priscilla, is hungry!
