Kids can amuse themselves with almost anything.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The thing with children is they're a bit like baking a fruitcake: you throw all the ingredients in but you never know how they're going to turn out.
In certain ways it is incredibly damaging considering the stuff I did before certainly wasn't for kids.
Kids need stuff which is different than what their life is that they can kind of live through.
Kids are mostly very resilient.
We cherish our friends not for their ability to amuse us, but for ours to amuse them.
I don't like the idea of things being off-limits to kids - like a fancy sitting room where they can't touch anything. I own vintage pottery cups, and I let my girls hold them. It teaches them to treat objects with respect.
Kids are messy!
Kids should be allowed to break stuff more often. That's a consequence of exploration. Exploration is what you do when you don't know what you're doing. That's what scientists do every day.
Children can only take so much, and they deal with it however they can.
If you tell kids they can't have something, that's what they want.
