Yes, I think you'...Lorie, thanks for sharing! <br />Yes, I think you're right- children tend to come loving to learn. We have to avoid hindering that love, and also present the wonderful ideas.Wendi C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08662077716158466395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314975175792696409.post-4518847315696408812018-09-28T11:23:21.941-05:002018-09-28T11:23:21.941-05:00Hi, Wendi! I have a couple:
"It may be that ...Hi, Wendi! I have a couple:<br /><br />"It may be that the souls of all children are waiting for the call of knowledge to awaken them to delightful living." <br /><br />And, <br /><br />"both teachers and children find an immeasurable difference between the casual interest roused by marks, pleasing oral lessons and other school devices, and the sort of steady avidity for knowledge that comes with the awakened soul." <br /><br />To me they both talk about "the love of learning". I used to wonder what I should do to make my children love learning. But (correct me if I'm wrong) based on my understanding so far of CM's principles (esp #1), all children love to learn. It's just up to us (parents/adults) to present them the true, beautiful, living ideas.<br /><br />As for the other challenges:<br /><br />1. we walked in our neighborhood late this afternoon. And we found a huge snail! Though it was dark, with a help of a flashlight, my son noticed its "so so tiny eyes". <br /><br />2. This week we sang aloud "Molly Malone" and "Children Of Our Heavenly Father". Molly Malone was his favorite. He requested for that song every single day!<br /><br />3. Thanks for sharing this poem. It's funny, and a great reminder. <br /><br />I'm excited to do the next challenges! :) Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11970409769706272546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314975175792696409.post-68849624292258542902018-09-24T09:14:16.587-05:002018-09-24T09:14:16.587-05:00Michelle, I am not sure I understand the question ...Michelle, I am not sure I understand the question about where to share? You can discuss them here, in the forum, or on the FB group, and you can share link with your ---- Oh- is that what you're asking? How to share? Should be a little row of boxes for various social media sharing at the bottom of the post. If you mean something else, help me out- I am easily confused some days!=)<br /><br />That is an interesting connection- pain and empathy. Hmmm. Yes. Although I feel like too much pain hinders that connection with others- one has to get beyond the raw edge of it for the empathy to take effect. What do you think?<br />Wendi C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08662077716158466395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314975175792696409.post-39625984564875534932018-09-23T08:25:20.197-05:002018-09-23T08:25:20.197-05:00Is there a place to share these?
