Children are notoriously curious about everything, everything except... the things people want them to know. It then remains for us to refrain from forcing any kind of knowledge upon them, and they will be curious about everything.

About This Quote

Children are notoriously curious about everything, everything except the things people want them to know. They will be curious because they do not know any better. The reality is that children need to be curious to learn - not just about the world around them, but about themselves as well. It’s important that we teach our children from a place of curiosity, not a place of fear or obligation.
