In this week’s Memories of Casa de Campo post Carol remembers the children of Casa de Campo and all their fun and games.
Grown-ups never understand anything for themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them. — Antoine de Saint-Exupery, (1900-1944) from The Little Prince, 1943
I have found the best way to give advice to your children is to find out what they want and then advise them to do it. – Harry S Truman, 33rd president of the US (1883-1972)
Children in Casa, like children everywhere, are able to live in a world created by their imaginations.
Albert Einstein wrote: Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.
