How to Teach Kids

Games

Most parents automatically know how to excite their babies, when, for example, they play peekaboo. The baby gets a jolt of an ‘aha!’ moment from the surprise of seeing the mother’s face pop out, so learning something new becomes associated with something thrilling. The excitement of new information comes with a hit of dopamine as a reward. Once you’ve got them motivated, they’ll want to learn more and more to get another hit of that dopamine.

A note here: I don’t think it’s an addiction when you want to learn more. I don’t know anyone who’s an addict to knowledge and, if they are, they’re helping the world. I say, go ahead, give them as many hits of information as they want. If the teacher or parent gets the cocktail of dopamine, serotonin, adrenaline and endorphins right, a child will be like a magnet for incoming knowledge.
