What about the other end, though? While our goals may be to create independent learners, we might also want to consider how especially pleasurable it can be to learn according to a carefully considered plan put together with love by a parent. We love that our kids can and do teach themselves all manner of subjects and skills. Anyone who realizes that a little concerted effort and a willingness to explore/read/test ideas without the badgering of a schedule or a series of pop quizzes and tests, discovers the joys of being an autodidact. Self-guided instruction is a popular motif in home education. He’ll have the power and skill to teach himself (such a gift!), but he’ll also receive the gift of a lesson well-prepared. In toggling between independent learning (the kind a child initiates and continues on his own) and lessons (the kind organized by you), your child will become a well-rounded, educated person. Benefiting from the well-prepared lesson offered by a caring parent.Self-teaching to become a competent student of any subject area.There’s a different kind of happiness that comes from that experience. Still, even though I have taught myself to cook, and have enjoyed the effects of my cooking, I love meals cooked for me-whether at a friend’s home or a restaurant.
The tinkering with the ingredients, the paging through the cookbook, the skillful braising and simmering and broiling-these all help me invest in the meal, and I love the feeling of being a confident, competent cook. For instance, when I eat dinner at someone else’s home, the food just tastes better, the whole experience is elevated to “special,” and I find myself relaxed and happy before the dinner begins, simply in anticipation.ĭon’t get me wrong. One of the greatest pleasures in life is to have someone else prepare a pleasurable experience for you.
