NEXT by Ramla: The blurb says: At Wannado City, kids can be whatever they want to be – right now. From paleontologist to news reporter, to everything in between, kids try out tons of grown-up jobs in the first indoor city just their size. They can operate on a patient, cook up a pizza or even solve a crime.
This is amazing. Be what you wanna be! DO what you wanna do! The ultimate realistic-fantasy of all human beings: get a taste of what it's like to do what you want to do with real objects and playmates.
Kids play out their fantasies in style by role-playing with imaginery objects and imaginary settings (and in my kiddie days, there were sometimes massive disputes on setting the scene and even assigning gender roles). But in Wannado City, brainchild of Mexican-born entrepreneur Luis Javier Laresgoiti, kids roleplay in real-life settings and carry out virtually real tasks. He got the idea for this experiential park when he watched his own daughter play with his telephone.

The BBC is planning to invest £25m in children's TV programmes over the next three years, meaning TV Brackets and TV Mounts could be reaffirmed as positive assets to any modern environment.

I have three daughters and four step daughters. I used to go crazy setting up scenes and or pulling them down in time for dinner. This makes me wish I had known about this or something like it when they were all small and learning the value of role play in shaping their lives. As a parent I was always looking for ways to gather information as to how they could "BE" someone or something else for a little while.
The thirst for information has led me to eBooks and the seemingly endless variety of subjects and opinions which are available. In part my kids had a lot to do with setting up http://www.tbcutting.com as a way to present a large variety of information sources to mine and many other families who live in remote parts of the world. I have taken notes and plan to check out Wannado City and I might even take a couple of my grandchildren with me. Terry Cutting.
