Indeed, the children were far more interested in finishing their meal in order to play than in the games that were included as part of their lunch.
None of the children introduced themselves by name, instead, there seemed to be an innate and unspoken level of communication, which allowed the introduction and departure of group members on a rather random basis without interrupting the play cycles. For example, one young boy, about 5 years old, was the ostensible "ruler" of the slide tower. When a new person came into the area, this youngster immediately asserted his role by directing them how to climb the stairs, how to sit, and interestingly enough, how to be safe when sliding down the ramp. In general, the female children were more verbal in their naming of the characters present -- Ronald McDonald, Mayor McCheese and the Hamburgler...
The verbal naming of characters was reinforced with the coloring books brought from their meal (Happy Meal?). All but one of the 11 children spent at least some time coloring.
The most fascinating aspect of the observation was the way in which some of the children used their imaginations to create scenarios that involved the Playland characters and the children coming in and out of the group. "You hide the hamburgers from the Hamburgler," cried one young girl, "while I color this star so I can arrest him." (One wonders about the word arrest and the child's understanding of that concept).

Children Being Charged as Adults The Negative Consequences of Treating Minors as Adults in Criminal Cases "Old enough to do the crime, old enough to do the crime;" this is an old, yet still very controversial statement when contemplating whether or not juveniles should be tried as adults in certain circumstances (Maroney 1). There are many who believe that anyone who knowingly commits a crime must suffer the same consequences, regardless of
Working Parents and Daycare Within this paper, an examination of factors related to daycare for preschool children in the U.S. will be presented.
