A child's point of view is radically different from an adult's. I told the children coming to my class to draw their home and family. One eight year old had a bossy elder sister and she drew her sister as a drooping sad flower and the other wanted to know if there were any 'male' flowers to represent her kid brother! Children reveal and share their feelings spontaneously without any pretense or camouflage. If we hark back to our childhood, we shall all find ancedotes humourous and sad when we lived in the present, with no thought of the past or the future.
Regaining entry to live in the present is the treasure we should all seek.
