Carson's Family Culture

Carson brought pictures, projects and pastries to tell kindergarten about what it is like to live in the Nitta household.

Isaac balances his Japanese snack while displaying his family's similarities with the Nittas. When we talk about rules and responsibilities in the home kindergartens show how they are similar or different. During Carson's presentation we had a wonderful discussion concerning violence in video games. When Carson was asked why he is not allowed to play fighting games he asked, "Why can't you?" the child responeded, "mom's don't want kids to play hitting games because they think if we do we will grow up and hit and then go to jail." Another child spoke up, "you can play a hitting game and not hit in real life." "What you do in real life is your choice," said a peer. "but playing killing games is moms' choice!" said another. This is a perfect example of the value of our cultural discussions.
