This week the children in our Roadrunners class needed some support navigating a tight part of the creek where everyone wanted to play. A beautiful shady wet spot that is boxed in by poison oak and sometimes requires a bit of negotiation and boundary setting. So we helped them as needed to communicate with one another, make agreements, draw lines in the (literal) sand, where they could relax into their imaginations without fear of their volcano or island being smashed and stepped on. Safety in boundaries. There are moments in forest school that are tough and that bring out big feelings in us all. These aren’t the moments being captured in photos, but they are some of the most important. Some of the biggest learning happens here. And some of the greatest connection. Can our relationships recover after conflict? After we helped the children with some anger, some sadness, and then some resolution, we all relaxed back into baseline, back into our senses, back into our play. And then, up above in a tree, with impeccable timing, a little gray bird named Oak Titmouse began to shout a frantic, territorial call. It made me laugh a little, I looked up and said to no one in particular: “I hear you Oak Titmouse, that is YOUR territory, I won’t come into your space!” Sometimes what us grownups need to support children more than a script or a technique is to step back and see the beautiful bigger picture— to find the story or the metaphor. Suddenly we can see how similar we all are. the young and the old, human and non-human. Thank you nature for being one of our teachers.
