Welcome to the hood - a place where children can grow up surrounded by other children. A place where little people learn to interact and communicate with others of the same age - where conflicts are resolved, sharing is strongly encouraged and everyone has fun.

Isn't it fun to grow up together with others? I think children, at a young and tender age, should be allowed to mix freely (as long as things don't turn violent) to allow them to explore their emotions, space and communication skills - this allows them to be mature into complete adults as they can draw from the young experiences of conflict resolution and negotiation skills.

Thanks to Merv for this picture.
