Lessons from ..Life.Throwing Snow Balls at Moving Vehicles.
Childhood Development and its dependence on an immersion in -Life.
Abstract:
Engineering & Mechanics , Social dynamics, Physical Challenges, Emotional development , - rational decision making in crisis management,
are but some of the lessons taught to Children when Throwing Snowballs at Cars.
Life’s Experiences, that is -springing from Life’s Challenges-problems-complex dynamics, ... the messiness of LIfe in all its carnations, comprise the organic ingredients for the Development of the Human. Encountering this -mess- and successfully overcome it - or Not, is in fact as aspect of a Child’s developmental process that simply cannot be overstated ...or easily quantified.
The messy “soup” of life contains infinite moments of challenge & Learning
Life's -Lessons- are the essential , if not elemental learning- growing- Ego /confidence developing , Problem solving , Developmental Environment of -Humans. Removing these things from a Childs experience is -disastrous for the very simple reason-
These lessons Cannot be created or replicated artificially . If we remove Life lessons in a Child’s Development, they are lost to time, often emerging as dysfunction, or
unfulfilled promise , perpetual immaturity, distorted development , an absence of development, latent conflict, ...et al.
