Awesome - mean..."let me have time alone". Awesome - meaning packed phrase. Parents today seem to beleive that childrens lives need to be structured every moment of the day. If not - parents believe that they are not being attentive. Although children need structured play and family time - this must be with in balance. Young children develop executive functions through play. This is an unrestricted time when there imaginations soar and they are not pressured to (play by the rules) but use the gift of trial and error. The downfall and result of early childhood overstructuring - are older children who can't think independently and problem solve. They are used to having days totally scheduled by others, and being encouraged to never color outside the lines. Assisting and encouraging children to use their imagination is a longterm gift. These children will grow up with the capability to successfully problem solve. Do we not leave work after a stressfull day and need alone time? A young child who has spent the day in daycare, preschool, at birthday party, etc. experiences the need do descalate as well as adults. What a gift to let them do their (job) - which is to be a young child, explore, and learn.Mari Nosalnoreply@blogger.com
