Topic interest for workshop

I think I would like to explore more about child sexuality or child trauma. Child sexuality seem to be almost a taboo area of study. A very sensitive topic with many complexities. The main questions being, do child have a sexuality? What age is too young for sexual exploration? Child trauma is interesting as well, for what does it take for a child to become traumatize? Can trauma be healed? Though, the topic of child trauma isn’t as sensitive to talk about, I’m sure it’s even more complex than child sexuality. Both are definitely interesting topics to me.

Stephanie’s Questions – September 19th

  1. Are Froebel’s gifts still useful? is it simply child’s play or concrete learning?
  2. With yoga and meditation being added to school’s curriculum for students to build relationships with themselves, could this lead to contemporary educators reintroducing Froebel’s work into their classrooms?
  3. Does religion or spirituality have a place in our school system?
  4. Has religion deeply influence how adults view, treat, hurt and understand children?
  5. Is a “childhood” the inherit right of a child or is it a privilege?
