Preparatory A (from 2+). Lesson 26

How are you doing? What is your favorite activities with your child?

In our Pedagogy class today we will learn how to work on the learning energy of your child.

We have to form healthy learning habits to build strong foundation for successful future today.

Attention of your toddler is energy.

The energy is just as important in the work of our attention as finances in supporting our life. The ability to correctly expend, conserve, and accumulate our energy is what drives our attention.

Having paid for the “basic expenses” of overcoming physical problems, attention has an opportunity to direct its remaining energy to solving problems “for the soul.”

The attention's investment into learning increases if its energy is replenished by successful execution of a prior task.  It produces a natural, organic motivation to improve in one form of activity or another.

If attention’s further investment in a project leads to frustration, attention will borrow energy from will power.  Will power is the opposite of cramming.  Will power is a conscious personal effort to direct the energy of attention under conditions of frustration. It is directly connected to the student’s faith in his own abilities.

If your baby's attention succeeded to promote his independence, self-esteem, and ability to realistically assess his own strengths, the attention may submit to the will power and will gradually cope with the problem.

Look closely on advertisement pictures of piano students. They look anywhere else, but at the music score. If your child SEE what to do, his attention span gets more and more energy!
