But are we making sure that they practice the application of concepts and not simply memorize theories? We place much stress on practicing math because it makes our kids critical of the world around them and is important for their academic journey. We should help them to solve problems their own way-by being smart and hitting the bullseye instead of shooting arrows in the dark. It is where we should encourage them follow their instincts and to question their perspective. The part where we want them to learn and grow academically is where we should be the most accommodating of our kid’s understanding prowess.
So, why do we become critical, and concerned, when it comes to their academic mastery? We may applaud their memory power when we see them recite dialogs from their favorite shows, but rarely do we take note of their observational skills when we see them mimic an animal. We don’t think about what pre or post-crisis analysis they do of their surroundings before coming up with their pranks. These are the things that come to mind when we see kids doing these activities. And mischief-making is an activity that requires careful planning on their part so that the pranks are funny enough to make someone laugh but not stupid enough for them to be grounded. They have to remember the timings of their favorite shows and try to finish their greens.
There’s so much on their to-do list and so little time to execute it all.
