Are We Missing the Meaning?

The child’s body knows and senses what happens in the surrounding reality. The mind of the body shapes games about what occurs to it and the adults nearby.

Just take heed of the make-believe games children engage in!

But how many adults possess the eyes and ears to perceive such remarkable reflections of their unconscious? Often, we have these shut away in our subconscious due to our experiences. Our history is inscribed within the fabric of our minds.

Most of the time, we shoo away these reflections, akin to buzzing insects. Additionally, we’re inclined to discourage how little ones create meanings, treating them as simple games devoid of significance.

A child’s play typically mirrors the interactive reality within the nest, the home. This realization was truly astounding to me, and I wanted to share it.

How does your child play? Have you paid attention lately?
