GirlHacker's Random Log

almost daily since 1999

 

As a parent you can discover and even rediscover wonderful, often simple enjoyments through the perspective of a toddler. The Washington Post’s experiment where they set up virtuoso violinist Joshua Bell as a busker in a subway station reveals that “Every single time a child walked past, he or she tried to stop and watch. And every single time, a parent scooted the kid away.” It was morning commute time and the parents can’t be faulted for rushing their kids off to school. But it’s a reminder to take your children’s lead sometimes. They don’t have the same filters and conditioned responses that you do. (thanks Steve!)
