When children become involved in endless computer games and
watch, by choice, mindless Youtube videos, then we may feel that they being
insidiously corrupted. Why can't children just play?
There was a game played in Gloucester, according to Opie,
many years ago – about `Fairies and Witches’. The girls seemed to be playing
games with the fairies flapping their arms and witches holding their fingers as
if they were claws. The witches seemed to come out of dens while the fairies had
a palace for safety.
`There is a witch and she catches you.’
`And then?’
`Takes you to her corner.’
`And then?’
`Stews you.’
`And then?’
`Eats you.’
`And then?’
`Throws the bones away!’
Just think if your child started playing a rather strange
game.
`There is a teacher and she teaches you Non Verbal
Reasoning.’
`And then?’
Similarities and Analogies’.
`And then?’
`Series and Matrices.’
`And then?’
`Hidden pictures and Odd one out.’
`And then?’
`Reflections and Codes.’
`And then?’
`Series and Nets.’
Will children ever be the same again?
