WORD DOES MATTER

Hi guys,

Yesterday I was talking to my youngest son about being independent. We were discussing about how to be independent. I realised that we sometimes overlooked of how we convey the message of learning in our conversation.

Try have a look on this...

"I want to teach you how...."
" I want you to learn how..."

Look simple but gives different effect and meaning to the children's understanding.

The first one look dominant and directive but the second one is more flexible and encouraging where the child will feel that they the one who need to learn.

In a simple terms we need to aware of how we communicate the learning to our children. Because words and sentences that we were using can affect to the children's thinking skills and their mental ability.

Happy trying...

Bye and see you later...
