A child will learn   100%   of what he will learn his entire life by age  of death.\n\nWe remain children all our lives-continuously learning and adapting. Our brains are "plastic" and malleable, so we learn throughout our lives.\n\nBesides, all children are different; i don't see how people can say that a child learns 90% of what he will learn his entire life by age 10 or something like that.

I found a quotable search engine on the net. I don't know if it has the quote you are looking for; but at least I may be able to point you in the right direction.\n\nhttp://www.quotableonline.com/\n\nI think that quote was in the movie Fahrenheit 451. Toward the end of the movie; there are a collection  of people who memorise books; and I think that quote is where an old man about to die is teaching his book to a young child about 5 or 6 years old.\n\nI don't think the movie tells which book the old man is teaching the child though.

The best info, to me, come from the french researcher Piaget.  He used is own children to study the development of a child, on many aspect (awareness, feeding, sensitivity, biological).  Here is a website with all the main researcher links. You cannot have a better answer.\nhttp://www2.yk.psu.edu/~mer7/theorists.htm

This is what teachers read on a daily basis so this wasn't too hard.... it's actually amazing that you can read it when it is all messed up\n\n\n\n\ni cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg.

Children may be smart, but there are certain things that they don't need to know until they fully comprehend.  Why fill their heads with adult stuff when they have plenty of time and learn more while having fun.

Well, teenagers always think they know everything, and some people never mature any farther then that.  For those of us who grow up, we can be our weird selves and know that we don't have all the answers.

My personal philosophy is that ALL children and should be able to learn.  Every child whether born "normal" or disabled enters this world with the sense of learning and curiosity, this needs to be fostered.

In brief (lol) - As children we give equal importance to al the data we receive.\n\nLearning can be from any sense source, but we are slowly 'taught' to learn exclusively with our ears, and we develop a language, despite the fact that 90% of communication is visual - body language.\n\nJust when the child has got over the fact that it has to learn by audio means, we throw it back into confusion, by introducing a written (visual) code, which has to be learned.\n\nThe majority of children will have a nano-cortex (brain) divided into two halves, and store this info from the central mammalian brain (short-term memory).\n\nSleep allows the brain to refresh these memories, and sort out chemical links so we learn to relate certain things to others, and thus learn.\n\nSome children will have breaks in the chemical chains, or have divided their brain before birth into more sections (dyslexia) so they may find the established methods of acquiring data a little difficult at first.\n\nAt about 11 years, the cranium joints in the protective bones of our skull fuse together, and we free to then go on to develop the inside functions. This results in the development of abstract thought.\n\nIt can be simplified to this\n\n1. Unconsciously unaware don't know, and you don't know it.\n2. Consciously unaware, don't know, but you realise that you don't know.\n3. Unconsciously aware. You do know, but have not realised it.\n4. Consciously aware. You know, and you realise this.\n\nAt the end of your life, the chemical links you have built up over a lifetime start to decay, and you find it harder to recall the bits you haven't used for some time.\n\nSome people like Gardiner, theorised that we learn in spirals, building up on the last information, by revisiting it.\n\nBriggs Mayer identified that we like to learn in one of four preferred styles, or combinations of them, and thus learn best when taught in a style that suits us.\n\nLook at teaching books in the library - pedagogic (children), and androgogic (adults)

change is good. experience life. most people don't and when they get old they say thing like i wish i could have... i would have... if i had the time i would have...\nhow else do you expect to learn? from a book? there are some things in life you just can't get out of a book.\nyou have the same life - you are EXPERIENCING life - you have real life experience, MOST people don't. you are learning about yourself and the world around you.\ni am also an experiencer and though i've had some SERIOUS problems through my life i would not want to change one thing. these things (set backs) have made me the person i am today; they have made me strong; able to think out side the box;and made me WHO i am today.\ni start my life over every day, some times several times a day, but i am still me.

I was told to remember one word from one of my high school teachers that has stuck with me and has influenced my entire life and has paid dividends, not only monetary, but experience as well.  That word was "Education".  Learn as much as you can about as much as you can.  It has made me a very versatile person in my career and my life in general.

Children are like a blank slate when they are born.  As a concerned and involved mother (and a social worker), I realized that my daughter would get "tapes" in her head from somewhere....and I decided that I would put tapes in there first!  \n\nI have been diligent in teaching her that "Good choices give you a good life; bad choices give you a bad life," and then illustrating that through actions.  Each time a situation arises, I see it as a learning experience. \n\nMy daughter is now 16 and just realizing how powerful it has been to have a mom who cares so much.  She is abroad as an exchange student and is now instant messaging me about the "dysfunctional" family in her new country.  She is learning that the things I have taught her (the tapes) from the beginning are now making sense.\n\nI do believe that we imprint our children.  In many ways we leave our lessons with them.  So, I think that we guide our children into observing and learning certain ways; THEN I think that the child formulates their own opinions.  But it is our job to guide them, to give them information to make good decisions, and to be there to help them through problems.\n\nSo, essentially, I do believe that parents and "superiors," do put things into kids' minds.  However....each person is an individual, and we each have our own personalities.  Therefore, the messages (or tapes) we get from our parents/superiors blend into our own personal experiences and individual (DNA..if you must label it) personalities.\n\nThe combination of what we learn from others and our own unique blend of personality makes us what we are.

During the "teen" years, the neurons and electrons in the brain are experimenting with logic paths. This routing and rerouting takes from 3 to 5 years for the average individual. The know it all phase, is one that allows for freedom of speech, and empowerment, if it were to be stifled, it only comes back in the form of anger later in life. My recommendation is to grin and bear all the abnormalities, and just sit back and enjoy the show!!!\n\nHuggs and Kisses,,,\n\nLonnie

Yeah, hes saying we don't know half as much as we think we do. or in his case a millionth of 1%. Even if we are generally smarter then average, there is still so much that person doesn't know. Every person knows a lot about hteir lives, and other people around the globe know about their neck of the woods and so on. The limit to knowledge in the world is inmeasurable. I think I made that word up....but it sounds good.

The beginning of real wisdom lies in realizing how little you actually know. Thinking of it as a journey, You have to have a starting point to begin. Now some of us come to this starting  point a whole lot sooner than others. I have been lucky enough to meet quite a few people who I would consider "Wise". They have ranged in age from 80 year old men and women to a child who though just born had the wisdom and love of the ages in their eyes. So who can say where true wisdom lies? I don't think age has a lot to do with it. Though I will say that part of the journey is not only learning from our own mistakes and triumphs but also learning from others. Because lets face it none of use have the time to make all the mistakes ourself. I'll say one last thing and then shut up. One of the greatest pieces of wisdom I was given came from my children. We were watching the news and on it was a story about the war in Iraq. My son looked at me and asked why everyone was fighting. I told him "To be honest I'm not really sure." He thought for a moment and said "Why don't they play dodge-ball then when they are all done everyone can get up and have ice cream?" to which my daughter said "And then we could all have a picnic."

Dear Rupal,\n            Education contributes a lot for our mental development. This can be clearly distinguished by seeing a literate child and an illiterate child. \n             From standard 1, we learn simple things, our mind opens a bit. In standard 5, we learn a little complicated things and our mind learns to tackle with complicated matters. In standard 10, we learn a bit technical education and our mind gets broader and learns to resolve technical problems.... and the series goes on and on... The more you learn, the more your brain expands and your brain gets used to tackle with difficult problems easily. We learn more and more with our experiences. You can take a man of 30 who is illiterate and a man of 30 who is literate and take their IQ test and the result we already know. By getting education, a child learns to differentiate between positive and negative, right or wrong, optimist or pessimist... How all this happens and what is the mechanism of the expansion of brain by getting education, is still a mystery.\n\nHope this helps!!

What you should be asking yourself is if it really matters. Either way, whether it is written or not, you and I will not know the future. I assure you that anyone who believes that they don't have to play an active role in securing their future WILL fail at life... whether that was bound to happen anyway is a moot point.

It's quite true that there are just some things that we have to learn for ourselves. \n\nIt's also true that other people have different perspectives, goals and desires than we do.  Sometimes it's a matter that we are missing something that they see.\n\nIt can be frustrating when you see your own child make a mistake, but you can't protect them, and it is VERY tricky to convey to them what you have learned or what you see that you think they don't see.\n\nSo here is my advice: (!)\n1.  Give up your need to have them follow your advice.  They have to be able to do differently than what you advise, or you are just trying to control them, not help them.  And like I said above, what you want may not be what they want.  And they aren't there to do right everything you did wrong.\n\n2. Learn active listening - see link below.
