Wonder
December 22, 2009
Conflict cannot survive without your participation.

"While visiting in Chicago, I wanted to create an opportunity of wonder and delight for Granddaughter Schon, 20 months old — well, for me, too. So I bought a string of the big, colored holiday lights and draped them around the room. As I plugged them in, I watched her. The delight seemed fleeting. Then I boosted her closer and we began to talk about the colors. She touched them and seemed to enjoy that they were hot, but not too hot to touch. She worked with the green light for a long time, looking at her hands, holding them around the light, moving them away — I wondered. And then I could see that she was noticing that her skin looked green next to the light, but when she moved her hands, the green disappeared. Over and over. The delight and wonder were certainly mine — hopefully hers as well."

Yes, grandchildren are a delight. As my article in the Sept/Oct Exchange discussed, I am having so much fun with my own granddaughter. Not only do these little beings see the world from their own unique perspective, but this "view of the world" changes dramatically with age. One of Elly's favorite occupations is to draw with Papa (me). First she loved to have me draw with her on the same piece of paper. Now, I cannot even touch her paper: she chooses my marker and I must draw on a piece of paper next to her.
The fact that children this age have such a unique view of the world is one reason I am so upset with the idea of intentional teaching. The problem is that this intent is always from the perspective of the adult. What about the child's intent?
