Keep YOUR Curiosity Alive!
Sometimes we blame our kids for not being interested in the lessons. Ask yourself: “When was the last time I was actually interested in what I’m teaching them?”
For example, you unleash curiosity in your children when you become curious about:
- phonics,
- the origin of the symbols called numbers,
- or how a book was printed and bound.
Curiosity drives learning.
Anytime the routine becomes too predictable and stale, kids check out. You might notice that you check out, too. You can check back in by asking provocative questions, and even doing research yourself. Have more to express, be more interested.
It’s the oldest education hack in the book. Curiosity drives learning. Live your questions in front of your kids before you expect curiosity to bloom in them.
