Beautiful Messy Life

There is a big difference between learning and teaching.

My children enjoy doing; therefore, they learn. If I attempt to teach them something, we can end up with bored kids or frustration. They don’t really want or need long explanations from me.

If there is something they are interested in, or want to learn more about, they have a lot more fun. They get a thirst for it and become more knowledgeable. The more things they do, discover, read, converse about, think on and investigate, the more they learn.

Much better than me teaching them something to a ceiling of my own understanding and then simply stopping. Implying that is all there is to it, or if I don’t know it, then it’s not worth knowing!

The sky has NO limit.
