Cultivating Curiosity in Children
We often forget that our children are natural learners and do not need to be “taught” – that is, if they find something of interest to them. The child who likes video games will conduct hours of research – reading, discussing, and practicing to simply get to the next level. The child who likes bugs will spend all afternoon in the blistering heat collecting, dissecting, and training them to go through obstacle courses. As parents and “teachers” we can use these interests to teach the not so interesting stuff and make learning an exciting adventure again.
Our Expert Tip:
We encourage you to stop “teaching” and realize your children have the natural desire to learn. You may soon discover that by taking interest in what sparks their natural curiosity, you can make Algebra a breeze. All is takes is relating it to something that matters to them. To allow your child to specialize in their area of interest will “teach” them the most challenging thing of all, to be independent thinkers.
