little people

I am on holiday with my good friend from Oz who is currently based in Paris. We are in Provence, France near a little town called Cavaillon.

She has 3 small children & it is a real learning experience to be around kids again! I feel as if walking through a door that I had left centuries ago.

Children are interesting to observe and to identify where our behavior as adults stems from particularly in how they relate to each other. We met up with another family the other day and the two groups of children (who had not seen each other for a few years and are too young to really remember), circled each other for the first 30 minutes. They stayed close to adults who they knew, as they evaluated the ‘other’ children. Whilst in that ‘adult safe zone’ they slowly reconnected with their mates and soon were up & off playing in the ‘kid fun zone’.

When we meet new people or those we don’t know well, we all have ways to keep some comfort, safety & protection around us, until we have made a connection and can feel comfortable with each other. We need to find where & how we can meet & connect and we may hedge around through conversation or ritual until we both land on some common ground. For both parties to walk out on the bridge of the unknown to connect with another requires courage, which is often unacknowledged as adults. We walk and talk with our invisible insecurities and fears as we try to find ‘the other’.
