We are born with a sense of awe and wonder, anticipating discovery around every corner. A shiny penny or a snowflake holds a world of delight. But perhaps because our culture tends to overstimulate and excite our children, boredom begins to seep in. It’s not uncommon to hear complaints of, “I’ve seen that” or “I know that already” from children who are already closing the doors to their sense of discovery. In this episode children can see there is endless discovery and opportunity for growth, and learning is for everybody around the world. Let’s approach life with the wonder of a child and share our discoveries with our children. Perhaps together we can develop an irresistible habit for learning.

Affirmation: I will always look for ways to learn and be loving to others.

This week we hear stories from an elder in Uganda who is “in 2030” looking back and imagining our world today, and what we did to make sure every child had the same educational opportunities. The children’s story, “Listen to the Wind” which highlights the building of schools, where there were none, high in the mountains of Pakistan, and finally a very brief introduction to Malala Yousafzai, the young woman seriously wounded for speaking out for children’s right to education, and won the Nobel Peace Prize as a teenager for her efforts. Also included is a music video and two handouts, one of activities for learning about yourself, and another one with activities for learning about each other.
