Children learn from their interactions with the world around them from "summary" of How Children Learn by John Caldwell Holt
Children are curious and eager to explore the world around them. They learn best when they are actively engaged in hands-on experiences and interactions with their environment. Through play, observation, and experimentation, children absorb information and make sense of the world in their own unique way. When children are given the freedom to explore and discover on their own terms, they develop a deeper understanding of concepts and ideas. They are more likely to retain information and apply it in real-world situations. By allowing children to follow their interests and passions, we encourage them to become lifelong learners who are curious, creative, and independent thinkers. Interactions with peers, adults, and the environment also play a crucial role in children's learning. Through social interactions, children learn important skills such as communication, cooperation, and empathy. They learn how to navigate social dynamics, resolve conflicts, and build relationships. These interactions help children develop essential social and emotional intelligence that will serve them well throughout their lives. As children interact with the world around them, they encounter challenges and obstacles that require problem-solving and critical thinking skills. By overcoming these challenges, children build resilience, confidence, and a growth mindset. They learn that failure is a natural part of the learning process and that mistakes are opportunities for growth and improvement.- Children learn best when they are actively engaged in meaningful interactions with their surroundings. By fostering a supportive and stimulating environment that encourages exploration, experimentation, and social interaction, we empower children to become curious, confident, and capable learners who are prepared to navigate the complexities of the world around them.
