...little children do not separate elements of things and colors the way we do.
Children do have a simpler approach to life. They tend to think black or white. I remember hearing a child tell his mom at the store, "mom stop making things hard. Just take one" hahaha. I found that funny because life is hard but they don't know that yet.
Right ... and if we do our job right, they are not burdened with having to know yet. I thought about my day walking through San Francisco's Rose Garden and then thought of my youngest students through the years, and how they would not have to think of all the elements that go with the colors and where they went ... because life is not that hard yet for them!
