This recalls a forgotten memory. Some adult/teacher was explaining that birds (in general) go north for the winter. We’re midway up somewhere in the northern hemisphere. I was maybe 6 and just couldn’t grasp why birds would go north in the winter toward colder weather. The adult went off on a condescending rant about having to repeat themself and migratory patterns and birds being birds. I still know very little about birds.
It’s such a shame. Children have so much curiosity for the world.
Adults should realy nourish that, not kill it.
I’ve worked with children in that age range (6 and older) and it’s realy crazy what they come up if you give them a bit of room to experiment with their ideas.
