“Knowledge which is acquired under compulsion has no hold on the mind. Therefore do not use compulsion, but let early education be rather a sort of amusement; this will better enable you to find out the natural bent of the child.”~Plato
Just thought I’d share
Good reminder! Sometimes I catch myself trying SO hard to have my son to listen to the amazing fact or skill I want to show him…but, sigh…Plato is right…especially when you’re talking about a 2.5 year old’s will!
I am having exactly the same problem, I just can’t seem to do flashcards with my son, I’ve stopped and started so many times and each time he’ll just snatch the cards from me to pile them up infront of him!
Thanks for sharing linzy.
