Origins Warrior of Beauty Cipactli podcast Episode 3: Play in times of COVID-19
As COVID-19 subsides in China, our co-host: Carl Emmons kicks off this episode with a comprehensive sharing of new programming that has unfolded in Shishi now that kindergartens have, thankfully, closed their doors. Our host, Ron Green, then brings around the stark contrast between how conventional education, seeking to mold the child into what society wants them to be, misses the mark of what Steiner states we should be doing: facilitating a child's discovery of who they are.
Key questions and prompts include:
- Forest Schools
- Helicopter Parents, Tiger-moms
- Rigor in play leads to a rigor in academics
- Mentor role of observation and evaluation
- The etymology of teachers vs mentors
- Why has the US dragged so much in coming to holistic models early childhood educational programming?
- When a myopic notion of FREE PLAY is as detrimental if not more than standard academics, how to strike the balance?
