A child under the age of six is far more curious than an adult scientist. Adults sometimes mistake this curiosity about the world as a lack of ability to focus because a child’s curiosity may change from topic to topic quickly. The truth is that children begin to learn at birth, and by the time they begin formal schooling at the age of six, they have known a large amount of information, perhaps more than they will learn for the rest of their life. Adults can help children learn more if they appreciate this curiosity while encouraging children to learn.
