What's your thoughts on this little poem?

Do you need to stop me?

Do you need to stop me? Please just let me be I hear you calling ‘mat time’ but I just don’t think you see. See, here I am with my all friends engaged in making ‘tea’ With some soft green leaves, a bit water and some sand from the sea. I’m making one for you, Please just let me be, I want you to see what I am making, And smile back at me. I am very busy and I’m sure that you can see, But when you make me stop you miss out on what could be It’s hard for me to stop when I just need to be See what you don’t understand is I am on a learning spree I am learning to be creative, social, and free So do you need to stop me? Please just let me be Routines can wait another five My learning should be the key.
Gracie What are my thoughts?

It is a brilliant poem, full of truth, and an absolutely beautiful description of why we should respect children as thinking, productive, and creative human beings.

Interesting that many behavior problems in child care would be non-existent if adults would heed what this poem says.
