Keeping Kids Curious - ALOHA Mind Math

Keeping Kids Curious “The first and simplest emotion which we discover in the human mind is curiosity.” Edmund Burke Nurturing curiosity in children As children, we were much more curious about the things around us and how they worked. With a head full of questions we would ask our parents and pester them for an explanation on anything that tickled our interest. As we grew older, we either found the answers we wanted (what we would like to believe) or our curiosity just disappeared. Today, information on anything is generously available in books and on the internet. It is a great way for kids to get all their queries answered. ALOHA students nurturing their curiosity. 5 ways to build your child’s inquisitiveness It is important to raise a curious child and encourage them to ask questions not only at home but also at school, this will also help them get a better grasp of what is being taught in class. Here are a few ways you can fuel your child’s curiosity. Converse with your child. Having a regular conversation with your child about their day or what’s happening in the news is a great way to intrigue your child. Conversation is the best way to foster curiosity. Organize a group play time. A lot can be learnt when kids play together, even a simple board game like Pictionary. They learn to plan, strategize, work together as a team and answer each other’s queries. Solve puzzles together. The brain is well exercised while children solve puzzles like jigsaws, crosswords or even building-blocks. Puzzles help to unleash a child’s creativity and imagination. Break away from routine. Introduce something new into your child’s day, take them somewhere new or make them eat something different. Adding something new outside their everyday routine is a great way to make youngsters ask questions. Encourage your child to read. Reading is an activity that can generate an unlimited number of questions. It is also a good way to improve your child’s imagination and vocabulary.
