Horme is a term in classical philosophy that refers to the impulse toward action, akin to an unconscious life force. This impulse drives children to explore, learn, and grow according to their developmental needs. Young children are guided by this innate impulse, which ensures that children actively engage with their environment and persist in tasks that contribute to their work of self-construction.
