My dad told me a few years ago that exposing your kids to new experiences is not about imparting knowledge.
It’s about teaching curiosity.
Your objective is to get them to ask “Why?”
We have a Statue of Liberty print by Peter Max in our home (not this one, but you get the gist) and one morning, out of nowhere, Paco began peppering me with questions?
- “Why does she have a crown?”
- “What is she holding in her hand?”
- “Why is she on an island?”
- “Why is she in New York?”
- “Why are there stars behind her?”
It WAS tiring (I’d be lying if otherwise), but it was impressive and a moment of pride.
It also gave me the inspiration to keep on working at it.
