Motivation For Learning

- What modern cognitive science says about how we learn best:

'Intrinsic motivation leads to optimum learning, according to modern cognitive science. It’s something most parents intuitively know. Just watch any infant and you‘ll have evidence that children are naturally curious and interested in learning, exploring, and mastering challenges. They don’t need to be motivated to learn, nor taught how to do it. '

Unschooling & 'special needs'

'Giving our children equal partnership in family learning has been wonderful. it's been fascinating to see how their personal interests and giftings have developed. and the learning continues organically - at home and through outside life experience . . .'
