3 Enjoyment

Enjoyment is a precondition to learning. So the most important question is not how I motivate the child, but how I motivate myself to make learning fun. Here is the recipe:

Ensure that your bowl is open – there is no right answer (or even if there is – it isn’t being worshiped). So the child decides how much and what to put and how much and what to take out. The child explores.

Ensure that you spend a lot of time whipping the knowledge through thinking. Thinking is fun, thinking is game, and thinking is unending.

The key spice here is Challenge. It adds sizzle, induces instant enthusiasm and releases loads of positive energy.

Garnish with loads of laughter, chatter, movement, and hugs!

Finally avoid eating alone – learning together is learning doubled!

You find the fun and SNAP the job's a game !" Mary Poppins
