About This Quote

Children are interested in the BIG picture. That is where the deep natural learning seems to get done. It is totally opposite to everything I have ever learnt at school. Children are born with an innate curiosity about the world around them.

They are interested in the big picture, not the "here and now" of what is happening right in front of them. They want to learn about things that might not happen for years or even decades.
