Until maybe a month ago, my oldest daughter (4.5 years old, and don’t you dare say she’s only 4), wanted me to make her mundane decisions for her. Which way should we walk to school? “What do you want, dada?” What do you want for dinner? “What do you think, dada?”
I immediately went and got a copy of Today based on reading this.
One, it is beautifully made and written.
Two, my day job is doing design for a company that makes digital toys for little kids. One of the cornerstones of our work is “meeting kids where they are” so that they can lead the play and tell their own stories.
