What To Do With a Child Who Won't Stop LEARNING!

Children are Learners by nature.

They have a natural, spiritual ability to absorb the bio-psycho-social matrix in which they are planted and reflect an understanding of how these domains operate.

If that's too heady (I know I struggle with some of the things I write when I go back and read them ;-) then think of it this way...

You never put your mind to learning your mother tongue. You were an infant, you absorbed the language as part of your being. Your being grew on and around the structure of that language matrix afforded you - the things you could describe.

Language helps us describe a lot of things that are important to us as young children, including Sensations (hunger), Emotions (sad, angry, joy), Wants (cookie, blankey), Wisdom (god lives inside my heart, what goes around comes around).

As we get older we are interested in how things work, and the dynamics in social relationships. Our deep interior structures mature and require additional language elements to make the experiences conscious, and to process them with the guidance of a mentor or coaching group.

It makes sense to give children an education as early as possible to begin orienting them to the world. Montessori schools do a very good job of this.

Educating the parent is equally, if not more important. Learning together, the way suzuki learners and their parents practice together, helps create psycho-emotional bonds. So, for example, learning about your child through astrology will naturally make you curious about your own.

Studying astrology together, you will learn a language that describes things always present, though difficult to talk about. As you learn about yourselves and one another together, you develop the insight and dialectic to process the meaning in your lives at a much deeper and more authentic level.

It's an adventure.

It's worth taking.
