Make learning enjoyable
As our children grew up and now that we have three grandsons
aged 10, 7 and 3, this has been the most natural and effective way
of making learning enjoyable, even fun!
We never pushed education at our children nor our grandchildren.
What we did is surround the children with interesting books ad
learning aids were pennies, buttons, bingo cards toys and every
ordinary and extraordinary thing under the sun. Learning was
shared by the parents and the children as we took the special time
to do the alphabet and then draw pictures to match the letter.
There was never a fuss over homework as they knew that it was
their responsibility. It was never an issue.
Stories are great when you make them up together never knowing
where once upon a time was going to take us as we each took turns
adding one sentence and often lots of giggles to the story.
Learning is a life long experience and a good start makes the
quest for learning a natural part of one's life and a legacy to
the next generation.
