Hi, @sustainit , I am sorry for reading this now as I was so busy yesterday that I couldn't come here even when I saw the notification of being mentioned.
I'm so glad you could make a post from mine as you can relate to the topic which is observing the behaviors of kids especially that they know what they are doing, they just act on their own volition and when they need to be calm, they do.
Therefore, from our point of view, the point of view of adults, the behavior of a free child is always basically destructive.
You are very right because we feel a child knows nothing other than destroying things until he or she is of age to know if they should damage something or not.
Adults need to give children space too to explore the world by being free so that they won't feel inferior from other peers around them which could damage their high self-esteem.
Observation is very important and to help kids learn about life, most especially to be free to explore.
Thank you so much 🤗.
I'm very glad for your answer!
Children need the freedom to physically interact with the world in its various manifestations (within reasonable safety limits, of course). Only in this way do the corresponding parts of the brain develop, which are subsequently responsible for both the development of modern skills and cognitive processes.
I am with you in that adults are responsible for creating a safe and diverse living space for the child.
It does not have to be developing classes or daily trampolines. It is enough to allow the child enough freedom in the house (in their toys, on the lower shelves of cabinets, in pots, finally ☺️)
and in the yard: puddles, sticks, stones and everything that is more or less safe.
Thank you for the deep discussion!
