A Little Wild Fox, the Universal Laws of Free Play

di Maria Raiti (Autore)

Maria Raiti, 2022

Aloha I'm glad you're here because I've been waiting for you. I'm Maria Raiti, writer, expert in human values education and free play researcher. As a child I was tremendously shy and embarrassed to answer even when I was told: good morning. I was born in the mountains and I was faithful all my childhood to the game of collecting gray stones on the shore of the lake that, when wet, transformed into sparkling gems. Somehow I have continued to dedicate myself to that task for the rest of my life. Now, how is it possible that I was waiting for you? Because I know that my mission is not for one individual but belongs to a we. With this book in your hands, you are on the threshold of my very path. Already, I can sense how a pair of attentive little ears and a little black nose, that for -perhaps- a very long time has been searching for a delicious morsel, appear at your side. The little foxes of your own childhood, curious and alert, are ready to take you back to those days when we were more charming, unbribable and wild. If my presence pleases you, I would be honored to walk this pilgrimage with you. It's time to play, it's time to shine. What is this book about? In a sequence of postcards as simple as poetic, A little wild fox explores, almost from the activation of personal memory, why early childhood is a crucial stage that deserves deep attention and care. María Raiti portrays in its pages some of the wonders that happen in a free play encounter, from the moment the space is swept and cleaned before opening the door to time when the families leave and the air remains filled with a deep and vital calm. Using the metaphor of the different foxes of the world, its lines guide us to that early age in which the human baby, thanks to its playfulness, lays solid foundations for the future unfolding of its potential. The author collects anecdotes from everyday experience through which she details the multiple biological principles of free play and reveals its universal laws. She shows us how to create ideal habitats in which free play can thrive, how to identify its main predators and how to sustain an ethical perspective to prevent its extinction. It offers an accessible and enjoyable reading experience for families while providing cutting-edge information for educators, therapists and anyone interested in fostering full human development from the very beginning of life.
