Parents Reply Children
  • I have a place where young children are encouraged by their parents to go and express themselves and their creativity! Unfortunately, all they do is move stuff about and break things. (Including the surrounding brick walls). This shows me that children need guidance and training, way more than they need "free expression". As does my own childhood, grim as it was in places, I got WAY more value from the woodwork teacher who made me carve a boat out of one big block of wood, whilst teaching how to use the tools correctly, and which tool did what, than I would ever have got if he'd let me do it the way I wanted.

    It also showed me that I need to get a ruddy great 8 foot steel palisade fence* and keep those horrible children out. *The sort I can't climb over easily myself, will do I reckon. I've tried negotiation both with the kids and the parents, and it does not seem possible to find a way to share, that doesn't mean my stuff gets damaged and strewn all about and my work reversed when I am not there.

    Hippy ideals are great, but they only work when everyone shares them and the group consciousness thus formed, isn't lazy & selfish. Otherwise, "tall fences make for good neighbours". WHEN I have restablished some control over my bit of ground, finished building & securing the facilties I want and put the rest to lawn, then I might let the kids play on it again.
