This came to me in an email but I think it speaks to how far we have gone off course about how young children naturally learn and what they really need to have a quality childhood. When a group of students were asked to list what they thought the 7 wonders of the world should be they came up with the usual world monuments except for one child...this is her list:
1. To SEE
2. To HEAR
3. To TOUCH
4. To TASTE
5. To FEEL
6. To LAUGH
7. To LOVE
"The room was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop. The things we overlook as simple and ordinary and that we take for granted are truly wondrous! A gentle reminder that the most precious things in life cannot be built by hand or bought by man."
Less really can be more!
