Families are the biggest part of our small friends' worlds, especially now when so many are quarantined, churches are closed, and activities are postponed. But even when it's not Covid season, family members are the most influential people for a child during the early years. Children learn the unique culture of their individual family, that they belong to something bigger than self, and that they are loved.
The children often have very specific ideas about how to arrange furniture, what to include in the house, and which critters they want to make into a family.
It has been so cozy and fun to listen to the children talk about their own families and create new stories for the critter families. We will continue to build on the ideas of self and family in the upcoming weeks because these children are so important... to their families, Harmony's House, and the world!
