[Grovenet] Don't Know the Time of Day?

[Kristy]

 Teacher comment: My first thoughts are that this is wonderful for the 
"right" mind...one that thinks in a certain way.

I think for a young child...there are too many numbers (and they imply 
concepts that need years to "seat themselves" in a child's brain...year, 
month, day, hour, minute, second...all are experiential learnings.

Secondly it goes "slowly" on all but the seconds. Even a minute takes a long 
time for a child's patience. The others go
so slowly that you cannot see them moving and so a mind wanders...and a 
child's mind wanders even more quickly.

BUT, there are those special people for whom this will be marvelously clear 
and some of them will be children.
