An email from Joanna McCormick, a follower of the blog:
Just caught up with your blog and found the thing about choice very interesting.
As a parent the choices are simple but confusing - to wash up or interact with your child through play.
There is also something about messiness as well and I've talked to Caroline about this, how one is constantly tidying up to try and keep on top of things and how this must feel to a child - that they are constantly being tidied away, maybe emotionally as well. I think an element of messiness is really important in play, I was playing catch on the kitchen floor with my two children earlier today, which turned into a game of fork tennis because the discarded cutlery from a meal earlier was still lying around on the floor.
