photo numbers: 137 - 147 Cube 7

Father:

"You've got to build a cube.

This one goes over here that one goes over there.

You destroy everything.

We're trying to make a cube.

What are you doing!

We're trying to make something."

"In the middle ... not you in the middle."

After they have finished on the exhibit, I have a brief conversation with the father. He says that he doesn't try to guide the children, rather he lets them explore: "If you try to guide them they just destroy things... The older child will be going to school soon and then he will have more structure."
