Description

¿Cómo educar en un mundo frenético e hiperexigente? ¿Cómo conseguir que un niño, y luego un adolescente, actúe con ilusión, sea capaz de estar quieto observando con calma lo que le rodea, piense antes de actuar, y esté motivado para aprender sin miedo al esfuerzo? Los niños de los últimos veinte años viven en un entorno cada vez más frenético y exigente, que por un lado ha hecho la tarea de educar más compleja, y por otro, los ha alejado de lo esencial.

Vemos necesario para su futuro éxito programarlos para un sinfín de actividades que, poco a poco, les están apartando del ocio de siempre, del juego libre, de la naturaleza, del silencio, de la belleza. Su vida se ha convertido en una verdadera carrera para quemar etapas, lo que les aleja cada vez más de su propia naturaleza, de su inocencia, de sus ritmos, y de su sentido del misterio. Muchos niños se están perdiendo lo mejor de la vida: descubrir el mundo, adentrarse en la realidad. Un ruido ensordecedor acalla sus preguntas, las estridentes pantallas interrumpen el aprendizaje lento de todo lo maravilloso que hay que descubrir por primera vez.
