Another glorious Forest Friday at Crowley! This week our 6/7th graders practiced survival skills, utilizing some of their shelter building techniques, as well as constructed a minnow trap from found materials they learned from a florida specific wilderness survival book they are currently reading in class.

“Children need time to become themselves–through play and social interaction. If you overwhelm a child with stuff–with choices and pseudochoices–before they are ready, they will only know one emotional gesture: More!”

Want happier, calmer kids? Simplify their world.

As you decrease the quantity of your child’s toys and clutter, you increase their attention and their capacity for deep play. When we simplify, we gain physical and mental space.
Jess Kearney this is good
Profound! And accurate. I'm living with this, having taught that "more" is better -without realizing it- and now wanting to simplify so that my children can find value in the "littlest" of moments and peace in stillness and "boredom". I appreciate the share!
