"I don't wanna be teached"

As our kids (7 and 4) continue to grow up, it's amazing how different their little personalities are. Our older is big on learning the correct answer, and not moving forward until all facts are laid out in front. Blake just wants to try it, regardless of the info available.

This week they were playing a game, and Maddie wanted to show Blake what to do. She asked if she could help him when he replied, "I don't wanna be teached."

It just reminded me that we often try to help (or teach, or communicate with) others in the way that we would like to be helped/taught/communicated with, instead of determining how they would best be helped/learn/understand.

No big "Special Lesson from Jerry Springer" here... just a quote I wanted to keep in the blog.
