Is learning about following one’s passions, or is it a skill that develops over time with practice and hard work?
Learning – Passion or Skill? (and what else matters?)
The answer to this question may lie in the view that passion and skill are both important for children to broaden their intelligence and enrich their lives.
People learn by:
- being open to figuring out new things, including actively engaging in problem-solving strategies,
- having good support and models, including parents, teachers, and extended family members who offer guidance and
- having plentiful opportunities to try and practice different learning processes, including cultivating joy in those processes, one step at a time.
