If you look in a classroom of kindergartners, you’ll see these fantastic little beings who are just exploding with spontaneity and excitement. They’re amazed by a paper airplane, or a goldfish in a bowl. They’ve got this beautiful sense of innocence, bubbling up right below the surface, and it just fills your heart to watch it. We let them act that way because they’re still babies, they don’t know any better. But the older they get, the less freedom we give them to be themselves. In fact, if they act that way in high school, we send them to the principle’s office, where they’re usually punished and told to act like responsible adults. Do you see anything wrong with this picture?
