Trusting Our Children to Learn

I was most impressed by the John Holt's incredible empathy he shows for children in his book, How Children Learn. He gives us permission as parents to love children where they are and encourages us to look at things the way they do. I loved every part of this book! It has already changed they way I parent.

John Holt-

"What we have to do is break this long downward cycle of fear and distrust, and trust children as we ourselves were not trusted."

Children learn with the spirit of joy, foolishness and exuberance like the spirit of all good games including the game of trying to find our how the world works which we call "education."
