ignorant: lacking knowledge or awareness in general; uneducated or unsophisticated Basically this means that you did not teach them or give them the information in a way that they could understand and use.   If you don't do everything in your power to help children understand something then they may be ignorant of it!  Young children need to see, hear and be shown things several times before they get it. Telling them once will not work.  Tell them, show them, make them a chart or picture and let them practice under your close supervision until they can do it on their own.  Help them become intelligent! https://www.dictionary.com/browse/ignorant Topics to help children with (not in any particular order): Spirituality Kindness to others Being polite and manners Being non-bias Controlling strong emotions Laundry How to find a good friend Cooking Taking care of their body Finances Relationships Community involvement Taking care of their homes Gardening T

Child Discontentment: Children are born with discontentment.  Which means they are not satisfied.  Which shouldn't surprise us.  Children are safe in the womb, they are fed, sound is muffled and they are content.  Once born into this world feeding issues happen, bodily functions come into play, and sensory stimuli can be overwhelming (light, sounds and smells). Children need to have us help them through this process.  It is a type of conditioning of the mind.  Children need us adults to help them dwell on the earth with all of its wonders, distractions, and stimuli.   We need to support children in looking at the blessings of the earth (butterflies, smiles, flowers, gentle winds, loving voices, familiar faces, and cool summer nights) as well as showing expressions of gratitude for all that we have. What are you teaching children?

Q: Why is it important to study real objects with our children? A: In order to be excellent at something you must explore it, practice it and gain knowledge of it.  This is true no matter what the object or topic is.   Examples: You won't learn how to take care of plants by playing with plastic plants.  You need real plants. If you want to be excellent at playing the piano you need to explore one, practice playing and gain knowledge of musical notes, melodies, rhythms, etc. To become an excellent chef you need to cook with real food. Can you imagine the gifts we can give our children by exploring real objects with them! Go explore!!!

People are born with a set of temperaments, we didn't choose them.  Children have a set of temperaments that they were born with.  Understanding temperament can help you understand your child's behavior and reactions. Temperament: Active to Still Active:  Some people are born with an active temperament.  It is hard for them to sit still for very long and they love to keep moving.  They are sometimes referred to as "hyper or overactive". They become very active adults who may choose work that requires them to be physically moving or traveling. Still: Others are born with a more still temperament.  They can be found doing quiet activities that do not require a lot of movement.  They are sometimes referred to as couch potatoes, unmotivated or lazy.  They become adults who may choose work that is more sedentary or tedious.  When raising and teaching children it is our responsibility to find the strategy that works for each child (person) based on their temperament
