Learning from Adwitya While I Teach Adwitya

  Adwitya is learning fast, and learning well. The first thing I learnt when I grew up was that everyone dies. I won’t live forever. My legacy will. We love watching over the top apocalyptic survival scenarios in movies and TV shows and OTT because we like to try to imagine what we would do if we were in such a situation. In fact, I had written my first novella about such a situation, about how I would climb the Himalayas to escape the death and destruction in northern India's plains due to an artificial disaster . We can only prepare for the worst and hope for the best. Example gratitia Adwitya just learnt that we should go under a table if an earthquake happens. We are helpless against nature's fury, which is why I live by 6hourism . A lot of things Adwitya does make me curious about how the human brain learns about how to live the best life possible. Another example: I observed her trying a new experiment today: pulling a few of her hair to test when it starts to pain ....

How to Teach Babies To Solve Jigsaw Puzzle

Show, don't tell. Above all, have patience. First, do the puzzle yourself, talking to the child about the various things in it. Let the child mix it up when you are done - they enjoy that more than solving the puzzle at first. Second, guide them patiently about turning all the jumbled pieces face-up. They may not understand corners and edges, which is perfectly okay. The process will become clearer in their minds as they start connecting parts of the puzzle before making the whole, like a Ship of Theseus [not quite, but I just love philosophical thought experiments (and the Sohum Shah debut movie - https://youtube.com/shorts/_pOzVWTQ4FQ | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPAq0oxYyhY )]. Thirdly, celebrate their small wins so that they are encouraged to build better. Show them the puzzle picture constantly [I stuck it on the inside of the lid of the puzzle box]. It will help them get the full picture [see the pun?]. Fourthly and finally, be prepared for the kid getting bored - DO ...
