Child’s play. Is the best way for children to learn
»Let us play. »
We adults try to teach or encourage with our ideas, which are needed at times. However, it is so important to let children experience things on their own when the environment is safe for them to do so.
To let them discover in their way-
To allow them time and space to imagine and pretend-
To not have rules or give them a right or wrong way.
To listen to them and respond when asked with positivity and encouragement.
Gabriel played with these boxes, building various towers.
He wanted me to take photos of each one.
Some fell, and a few were bumped by a certain little Pickle. But that did not deter him from creating towers.
Yes, those are peeling tattoos, and chocolate was dropped on his t-shirt. It didn’t bother him, so I left it be.
We need to think outside the box,
to be challenged to
Let our inner child play.
The joy I have watching them find their way.
