Quote
Learning is constant. The child’s wondrous progress from helpless newborn to a remarkably sophisticated five-year-old happens without explicit teaching. In fact, most of a child’s learning is so continual that it goes unnoticed. Toddlers experiment like enthralled scientists. They rapidly develop a grasp of everyday physics. They master nuances of social interaction long before they can speak in sentences. Sometimes they are frustrated because their comprehension expands much more quickly than their growing vocabulary. Often, children seem to ignore what they aren’t ready to learn, only to return to the same skill or concept later with ease. What they do is intrinsically tied to why they do it, making the learning process purposeful. Young children tend to be playful and very curious. They are confidently in charge of their own instruction. They require little fanfare for their achievements, as mastery gives them more than enough satisfaction.
