Second time through

After a little time to reflect and coming back and rewatching some, I realize that even when children are playing they are creating. Wether its building blocks, arts n crafts, or just using things to make their toys more fun they really enjoy the play time more. My sons love to take things apart and build new things. My girls love to design things that people would never think of. No matter what it is they have more fun when they create. I believe that is the essence of playing even when we are little. My husband loves to tinker and when he does he is the happiest ever and he reminds of a kid. I see the same look on my kid’s faces when they create or even pretend they are. I have developed a theory that most of the problem children are really just reaching out for encouragement and the ability to really create something and that is probably why they usually do so well when they are in creative environments such as pre-k and kindergarten. I don’t mean to ramble but I believe I am having a puzzle piecing itself together and it is really exciting. I have done alot of babysitting in the past and the kids, no matter what age, are usually really good for me because I always had something interesting for them to do. I never realized it before but I think that creating things was why. Their parents always asked my what I would do to make them behave me so well and I always thought it was because I wasn’t “mom”. Now I know its because I let their imagination soar and allowed them to create. I think this feeling is really amazing and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for bringing me to the society. I believe that I’ll have alot to contribute and am looking forward to learning more!
