Considering children as our teachers sounds very interesting.  In a sense, 
literature has done some of this with the 'noble savage' theme - though 
anthropology tells us primitive societies are very violent, even when we 
factor war into ours.  Kids enjoying each other, like my dogs meeting their 
pals in the park, always moves me. 'Buster' is a particular friend of my 
two.  One has to do something to organise children's play (and the dogs') 
and eliminate obvious dangers.  This includes difficult reasoning on not 
over-supervising.  We make provision for the future, rather than live every 
day as it comes.  I think we have become neurotic on how we do this and 
should be providing security in order that we can be more in the moment and 
not worrying so much.  Sadly, much living in the moment is consumed with 
the wrong things already.
