TWBIM_0321 Unintended Challenges

Tom leads a conversation about children using things in unintended ways, such as  climbing playground shade canopies, piling portable steps into rickety piles, and using drumsticks to fill holes. Mike sees a difference in our perception of what's intended and acceptable use of manufactured materials vs. natural materials. Joey wonders if creativity is ever problematic. Ross talks through approaches to partnering with children as they create their own challenges. Tom reminds us that children will always turn benign areas into something challenging because challenge is were joy comes from.
