Playing with things till they make sense?

Post by French Rocket »

You know the old theory regarding how Bree's stuffed animals being played with to act out her real life situations? I think I have something to contribute to it.

I went to my library to find Guns, Germs and steel (Just because of Bree :roll: I'm so lame) and near it I found a book about a child's need for play violence. The author stated that children will act out situation's using their toys. Basically they play around with it until it's no longer a strange thing to them. Maybe Bree read this book and she tried it. What do you think?

I don't think she would have read the book, but maybe that does relate to her in a way. Like when in "What Makes Us Sad?" in how she explains how Thor, Owen, and P. Monkey act like when they feel sad-- I remember someone saying how it could relate to her parents.
