Most of the parents find it essential to answer questions of their young children, especially if children ask the question with a why or how.
As parents, we feel that we are responsible for our child’s thinking process, his knowledge, and so on.
They get passive information without using any of their thinking skills, curiosity, or efforts.

 

The process continues in school where most children learn what they are told they have to learn.

Just feeding information is a colossal disservice to the curious, creative mind of a child.

How about trying the ” LET’S FIND OUT ” approach whenever the child gets curious.

Its a great opportunity to explore together and connect with your child, challenging his thinking process, engaging his creativity.

 

Conscious parenting will try to create opportunities for investigation.

It’s not about getting the right answer or useful information but more so about engaging in the process of finding out.
How can we know what will be useful information when it is extremely likely that most of the most valuable information in the future is
yet to be discovered.

Highly recommended 4’C’s by pedagogical experts are:-
CREATIVITY & DESIGN THINKING SKILLS
CRITICAL THINKING
COMMUNICATION
COLLABORATION

Most important of all will be the ability to learn new, unknown things.
Not only do children need to be creative and innovative, but they must also have the independence to see projects through.
We all want our child to find their own voice, their calling but how will they find their voice if they don’t’ use it,

talk about things they love, share, and we as parents encourage sharing rather than just be enmeshed with what society tells us to follow.

So, how do you plan to incorporate the ‘ LET’S FIND OUT “approach in your parenting?
All it takes to uncover hidden gems is a clear eye, open mind, and willingness to be aware and consciously present in the moment.
