Natural traits and planned acquisition
What to study
//Random
For a small child, it is necessary to keep at hand ‘easy stuff to memorize’. In contrast to some process or mechanism, that is complex to explain. For instance, before teaching geometric formulas and proofs, give him geometric shapes to memorize. Simple stuff first. Less burden on the brain. Make him feel closeness to the subject and have a sense of confidence with things. Then, now when you teach a proof of the triangle (which he remembers so well), he’ll feel interested. Because it is about ‘his’ triangle. There is a sense of ownership.
