Seasoning a kid
-
What’s a season if you’ve only circled the sun a few times? And can’t really remember what it was like at this time last year?
A young child’s sense of time must be overwhelmingly abstract. Time is the ever-present now. While the rhythms and routines mark the daily cycle—breakfast and bedtime, bathtime and naptime—beyond a day, the cycles become too vast to comprehend. Our four-year-old still doesn’t understand what a week is, let alone a month or the phases of the moon. “Why is it a weekend?” he asks, as we head to the forest instead of daycare.
