What We All Want
Bob Sprankle,
Bit By Bit, December 20, 2007.
I found this post interesting, not so much because of its advocacy of play - though I certainly support that - but because of the examples offered by young schoolchildren of safety, inclusion, and contribution. None of the distractions they will learn in later life from a media that deliberately misleads. For young children, 'safety' consists of shelter from storms, a place to rest, and a safe feeling. 'Inclusion', for the children, has a lot to do with comfort, love, caring, and taking turns. Think about how these definitions become twisted in our adult lives. That's not by accident.
