Why do HWS schools recommend the limiting of media for young children?
One reason is that a central aim of HWS is to stimulate the healthy development of the child’s own imagination. The fast pace and fragmented sequences of television hampers the cultivation of concentration and imagination. For preschool and young elementary school children, imaginative play, such as listening to stories, watching and creating puppet shows, dressing up, baking and so forth foster in children an active participation in the world around.
