A mother asked me how I handled it when my children wanted to make something that I knew wouldn’t be used after it was created. How did I feel about the waste of resources and the mess that would be left? That is a great question. In fact, this same question comes up often when I am working with moms, and I have put some thought into it and decided that an even better question would be:
“How do we determine when materials are being well used and when are they being wasted and if the mess will be worth it?”
Join me as we explore the answer to this question and why it is a challenge for adults to let kids waste i.e. create.
