Presenting New Materials to Children
It is a good idea to talk here about the speed in which a child will need to learn to read, or that which he needs to absorb in encyclopedic knowledge, or recognize the pure mathematical amounts, or any other thing actually. Do not be afraid of letting yourself go for your child. You might be surprised about the hunger for knowledge he has and the speed at which he is capable of learning. New information is like salt and pepper of all the programs. It is the ingredient of success that is passed up with more ease. When new information abounds, your child and you will fly. You will see that you will need more hours in the day and more days in the week. The world of your child will be found in a constant state of expansion. This is exactly what all children aspire for, every day of
their lives. We the adults, were raised in a world that taught us that we needed to learn twenty pieces of information by memory and to the perfection and we would go over that information over and over again. We had to learn, take an exam and have one hundred over one hundred or face up the consequences. For most of us, this constant reviewing of a very narrow amount of information was the beginning of the end of our attention as well as our interest in the topic, no matter what topic it was. Instead of knowing one hundred out of one hundred, wouldn’t it be better to know fifty out of one hundred of thirty thousand different topics? One does not need to be a great mathematician to realize that this amount of data is much more than one hundred. But what is truly important in this matter is not only that children are able to learn more than we are offering them. |
