I think kids slowly begin to realize that what they're learning relates to other things they know. Then learning starts to get more and more exciting.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Children are already accustomed to a world that moves faster and is more exciting than anything a teacher in front of a classroom can do.
We learn differently as children than as adults. For grown-ups, learning a new skill is painful, attention-demanding, and slow. Children learn unconsciously and effortlessly.
Kids can learn a lot by seeing things rather than reading it.
Kids learn more from example than from anything you say; I'm convinced they learn very early not to hear anything you say, but to watch what you do.
Kids are much more intuitive these days. Not that I'm crazy about what's on TV, but they know so much these days.
What's amazing is, if young people understood how doing well in school makes the rest of their life so much interesting, they would be more motivated. It's so far away in time that they can't appreciate what it means for their whole life.
Truly, learning appears to be a reverse geometric progression with experiences at one hour, one day, one month or one year dramatically more influential and formative than later experiences. As has often been quoted, 85% of brain development takes place by age 3, and yet we spend only 4% of our educational dollars by that point.
It is the malady of our age that the young are so busy teaching us that they have no time left to learn.
I think the way kids learn most is not by what you say, but by what you do.
Children learn what they live.
