DIÁLOGOS INFANTILES

Posted by Juan Carlos Yáñez Velazco

En sus habituales diálogos con niños, Francesco Tonucci, dibujante y pedagogo italiano, suele preguntarles: ¿cómo les gustaría que fuera su ciudad? Las respuestas suelen ser distintas, inteligentes todas, pero ahora traigo a colación una de ellas, dicha con determinación: queremos jugar gratis.

Sí, jugar gratis es algo de lo que muchos niños querrían para su ciudad. Algunos despreciarán: ¡niñerías! Pues sí, pero nada hay más sagrado en la etapa infantil que vivirla y disfrutar el derecho (y obligación) de jugar.

Parece tan simple. ¡Jugar gratis! ¿Pero es que ya no se juega gratis? Pues no, cada vez menos. Los muchos problemas en las ciudades van alejando a los infantes de los sitios públicos (si es que tenían y eran adecuados), por el predominio de autos manejados en forma apresurada en calles hechas para máquinas y no para peatones, la violencia, la inseguridad, la suciedad y las condiciones de la economía familiar que obligan a mamás y papás a trabajar y dejar a los hijos al cuidado de otras personas, de los hermanos mayores, familiares o solos.

Fuera de casa se agotan los espacios para jugar gratis. En cambio, ganan terreno los juegos que no son gratis, por los que se debe pagar: las maquinitas en las tiendas, los negocios donde se paga (habitualmente mucho) para disponer de juegos con caducidad (por tres, cinco minutos), las tabletas, las computadoras… etcétera.

Con ese menú infantil, son insensatos e incoherentes nuestros reclamos adultos por el aburrimiento en la escuela, la hostilidad de los alumnos o la precocidad de sus comportamientos. Y nada indica, tristemente, que haya vuelta de esa carrera desenfrenada a la nadería.
