Why do children end up liking things that we like? Because they see us experiencing joy and they want to experience that same joy. They want whatever it is you have.
You are guiding their affections. You are modeling what your children will spend their time studying. The student becomes like his teacher. This is why. They mimic their teacher’s loves.
Why do some children not know their multiplication tables but can rattle off the names and strengths of 200+ Pokémon? Why do some children not like to read but know the batting average of every player on the St. Louis Cardinals for the past decade?
Because they study and attend to what they love.
How do you get your children to love other things?
