Children ask many questions. By doing so, they learn. However, having an answer to each and every question they throw doesn’t always guarantee contentment. Perhaps that’s the reason why they explore. They hunger for knowledge, they want to learn. And what could be the best way to teach them than to do things with them so that you would be sure they’d have proper guidance?

They may ask where fruits come from. Plant vegetables and trees with them. They may look too young to understand the importance of trees and the concepts of oxygen, carbon dioxide or life cycle, but I assure you there isn’t better time to include them in such a wonderful activity than while they are young. This way, they would grow up with planting as an inseparable part of their lives which they would later pass on to the next generation.

They may ask how bicycles stand on two wheels.  Go find a trail and bike with them! You may not be able to fully explain the physics of biking but being able to set them on their own feet and to see them getting somewhere on a bike is a wonderful accomplishment.

We’re told many times that we should teach a child in the way he should go and when he grows old, he will not turn away from it. This is always true, but this is a heavy mandate.

The path that we’d take would definitely affect our children’s lives because our footsteps leave patterns on the sand. If we leave good imprints, there is a bigger chance that the younger ones would find themselves in good standing.

Children and even babies may still be young, innocent and inexperienced, but they are always old and wise enough to grasp ideas, reality and truth. We teach them and we learn from them, too.
