From my own experience, it was a joy raising two girls it was even more fun allowing them to discover their individual talents and preferences
From the moment of birth upwards educational toys helped with the process of discovery, imagination, interests and curiosity with play
Besides their academic and sport talents it is vital to let them dwell deeply in aesthetics
Music, singing, dancing and art are expressive activities part of it is to allow the child to experience their natural senses
In our earlier days our children didn't have technology and gadgets that kept them distracted with the virtual world we have today
Parents had to fight boredom and keep their kids motivated, encouraged with their natural talents that are a gift which should be taken seriously and explored
Since the world changed we have to keep aware with newer stimulants that may change the way the next generation grows up to be
Most tech CEO's have admitted that they don't allow their own kids to use gadgets too early in their life because they want to encourage their kids to discover and explore the world first
It seems with that message it would be better for the early part of kids lives to stay focused on more natural and organic stimulants
Besides, technology has become so easy to use that no one will be left behind, it also turns out that 'it's a personal choice, taste and passion' that will develop pretty fast
It just means that the old ways are still essentially useful and wise to a balance of discovery
A quote for us "Success depends upon previous preparation, and without such preparation there is sure to be failure."
