CARTA PER IL GIOCO DEI BAMBINI
Children play best:
​
-
When adults are watchful but not intrusive, when safe ground lends courage to their discoveries and adventures.
-
When their trust in life is whole, when they welcome the unknown, and are fearless.
-
When the world is shared with them. When there are places and spaces they can make their own.
-
When their games are free from adult agendas and when their transformations require no end-product.
-
When their senses are directly engaged with Nature and the elements.
-
When they are free to become gatherers, makers, and world creators in their own time and in their own ways.
-
When they can play with others and make relationships.
-
When they can play alone, be solitary and private.
-
When they can become new selves through their play with others and in their own imagination.
-
When they can reveal themselves, their joys, sufferings, and concerns, without fear of ridicule, and when mystery and imagination are not denied by facts.
