TWTBIM_0258 Floor Time

In looking through his photo archives, Tom has noticed how much time children spend on the floor. Should we think about the floor as a place to play? Joey points out that some materials are just easier to use on the floor--they'll wind up there anyway. Mike reminds us how much easier it is for children to anchor themselves on the floor which allows for more focus on their chosen task. What about adults? Should we be sharing this physical and emotional space alongside the children?
