Mom Moment: Love of Learning Starts YOUNG

Today I had a precious mom moment.

My 5 year old son Henry asked me this morning, “Can you bring Victoria into the kitchen in her seat so I can give her free math lessons. I want her to be very smart someday.”

So I obliged.

I wanted to share this today because I think it’s such a beautiful thing to see a love for learning and a love for teaching… even at 5 years old.

I remember playing “school” with my sister when I was a child. It was always so much fun and my parents always encouraged it. We would have pretend students, pretend assignments and pretend grading systems. Those moments are precious to me as an adult. When I saw Henry playing “school” with his sister this morning, it made me smile and it made me proud. There’s nothing more important than education… it’s the key to a child’s future.

How do you continue to make learning fun for your children? They grow up from being 5 years old… how do you continue to keep the spark lit?
