Exercise «Moments of childhood»

I’m kidding! Well, I mean, I’m having fun…

Carlson, who lives on the roof

TARGET: the development of spontaneity and spontaneity in overly serious parents.

Let’s remember ourselves as children this month! And we will do something that we remember from childhood or that we always wanted to do in childhood, but somehow failed. Let’s give small moments of childhood to our children. After all, we, parents, also know how to create an “ordinary miracle” in everyday life.

This exercise is not about stopping doing big adult things. Tell me, how much time do you spend with your child in the background? On the way to school, for tea, for cleaning … We have a lot of moments, minutes of background time that we do not spend. And if at the moment we are still busy with something insignificant, we do not break away from the necessary, important business — let’s give a moment of fun and joy to people who are nearby.

Security question: How many times a day do you pay attention to pleasant little things in the background, laugh, fool around? Do you know how to fill a simple, insignificant, even boring business with the positive of cheerful communication?

​​​​​​​Children often know how to do this and try to draw our attention to such things.

One smart person asked me: why should I do this garbage?

I answer. From our adult point of view, it makes no sense. The child, it would seem, does not learn anything, does nothing useful (practically useful). The point is that by sharing with the child his uncomplicated childish fun, we show the child that we understand him. Of course, one can understand in different ways, including in practical activities, and in training, and in conversation. However, by doing «childish things» together, we enter the child’s world, and do not show him our adult world. We go where the master is the child. Children will open before us the treasures of their world, and will be grateful to us that we have seen them. And are childish so useless

A film about an adult in a world of children: «Finding Neverland» is about the creation of the play «Peter Pan» and its author.
