About 15 minutes later, and aiter l{amza had stated severai times that he rvantecl toclrar.r' a blue rvhale, rvithor:t iresitation, N'Ir.

irnmediately pLrshed Waiid's hzrnds au,ay telling hirn to "jLrst rvait." Walicl ignoi'ed Flamza andbegan colouring. NIr. tridjel salcl nothing as tlamza scolded Wallcl stating, "Yor-t've messed upmy picture." \\,-alid seemed to iq'nore Flamza's lemarlis and began copying the srnall fish shapes

lris father rvas adding to the pictru'e. When I'lamza commented that rvhaies eat plankton, IVIr.

tricljel and Harnza began posing questions to eacir other about u,hales.

When Walid sLrggestecl other- sea cleatures that coLrld be acldecl to the picture, i-Iamzainiblmed hirn that he could ciecicle rvhat to drau, "rvhen it's yor,rr turn." Mr. tricliei then titriredthe original piece of paper over and began a thilcl drarving on his orvn while \ /alicl and l-larnzacontinued on the second drarving.

Mr. Iricljel allou,ecl Ilamza to control tlre activity anci. for the rnost palt, his fathcr'sattention. I-Ie accornrnoclated Harnza's tendency to exclucle \Vaiid rather than encoulagine himto ir-rclr-rcie ]-ris blothel more. lvl,v impression u,as that NIr. Iridjel rvas using' the activity as ar1

opportLinity to edLicate his children and riemonstr-ate his teaching skills to n-re. I-Ie partic\rateclin the clrarving to some clegree, but for the most pai't, directeci the boys ancl fbcnsecl hisattention on qLrestioning the chilclren. When eithel child rvas ofltasli, he made no attempt todirect hirn bacli to rvhat he u,z1s to irzive been doing. It seenred to me that Flarnza '"vas in controlo{'the activity and instead of having hirn attencl to the activity as instlr-rctecl, encouraged hirn tomodiiy it.
