I’ve been thinking about how we can help kids see the world as a big, open playground of possibilities, even when adults feel it’s too messy to play in. Do you think we should give them room to wander, or is a straight‑line path more practical?

Absolutely! A little chaos lets their curiosity bloom, and when they do hit a maze we can gently point them to the exits—so they learn both to explore and to find their way.
