I was watching the kids through my living room window the other day and was reflecting internally on how they're growing as people.
I thought I'd share...this is how kids learn.
Kids don't learn by being yelled at or harassed over and over on how to do something. Of course they learn in classrooms and by doing their ABCs 123s, but let them experience natural learning. This is why I do what I do. I relate with those kids who are "defiant" and the kids who learn more by doing-that's How I learn and it took my all my life to figure this out.
The kids take lessons- I can tell them what's right, what's wrong, or how to do it but in reality the kids learn when left to their own devices. Now they have the theory in their heads even if they don't think they do, and they learn by doing! They learn best when left alone to try, fail, try again, fall flat on their face, cry, bleed, be mad be discouraged but still get up and try again. And then it clicks. All of a sudden it's starting to make sense, it's working. All of their trying is finally paying off and you know what, not 1 adult out there "micromanaging" them. Kids learn doing dangerous things safely. It's up to us to let them find out. We all had the times in our lives we were told don't touch the stove, right? What did we do? We of course touched the stove, and we very quickly realized it's hot, right? Kids these days need to fail, they need to try a different way, learn what works and what doesn't- they need tontoich the stove! Let your kid fail. Let them fall. Let them cry, be mad, get up, do it again. Let them bleed-they also need to learn their own limits. This is when they learn and when the lessons stick the most.
I will most definitely push the kids and then I'll stand back and let them learn and teach each other.

The world is very different now for children than it was when I grew up. Please let your kids fail- how will they learn if they always get it right?

Don't forget our lessons for those under 7 are on for this weekend! All others I will see you in 2 weeks

While teaching today we had a great learning moment. It's not always about doing it right all the time. We have to do it...

While teaching today we had a great learning moment. It's not always about doing it right all the time. We have to do it wrong, know we did it wrong and try again. Without doing it wrong how would we learn? Can it be frustrating? Heck yes it can be! Will we cry? Ya we could. It's tough not getting it perfect the first time. Crying, getting mad, quitting-those won't help you though. Perseverance! That's what pays off. Do it again, and again and again and again till you get it then do it more!

Will I be a little tough on your kid? Ya probably. Not dangerous tough, but I won't let them give up. I will push them through their "wall" I've been there- we all need a little push sometimes.

So happy with the lessons this morning! We pushed through and had great success!
