This study gives an account of the clinical approach of French theorist Henri Wallon (1879-1962). Wallon is a developmental psychologist and a physician, who wanted to understand handicapped children as well as cure them. He described child development in the phase of emotion in contrast with his contemporary Jean Piaget, who described in the phase of cognition. Today, in the field of developmental psychology and pedagogy, Wallon's theory plays an important role as "method, attitude, or point of view for understanding child development". But it is not fully discussed how Wallon approached children in clinic. In this paper, it is argued that Wallon discovered "timidite" in handicapped children, and related "timidite" with "prestance". So I consider the meaning of Wallon's clinical approach today that suggest three methodological guides in pedagogy: 1. focusing on the body 2. positioning emotions in the foundation of pedagogy 3. reconsideration of facing each other
