Pour a liquid out of its container, and it changes shape, fills the space you give it. If you give children a lot of space, it may surprise you where they'll go and the shape they'll take.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Kids have to experiment a little or figure out where they belong.
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.
Give me a child and I'll shape him into anything.
Kids are disorganized.
If you've got a lot of children, I think you let the other children bring them up more and you just sort of step in and do stuff like every now and again.
Then I became a mother and it just fills every space, that isn't filled with something else important. It's just like this incredible balloon that blows up and fills life up.
I am very sure that my children thrive on structure and need boundaries. I know my children need to know what time they are going to bed or how many more minutes until they are leaving for school, and so I have imposed a structure that allows them to know where they are all day long, every day in life.
Kids are messy!
I'm really terrible with small children; they're small, noisy, irritating, damp and soggy.
If the child has not an object that it can occupy itself with, it feels ennui; for it does not yet know how to occupy itself with itself.
