Some musings

Alvin said it again after a lunch conversation with his colleague. His colleague has many hobbies like Lego building and he's into steam engines now. Because of his interests and pursuit of knowledge on the things he's interested in, his 3 yr old daughter is also interested in those things, and he imparts his knowledge to her. Alvin reiterated the point that we cannot teach our children what we are not. So it always begins with us. If we are always growing and learning, and if we are truly passionate about life, our children will likely be like that. Which is why I'm drawn to homeschooling, because I am constantly challenged to learn and to grow with my children.
