Curiosity, passion, at times boredom... all good stuff for kids.

Here is a great article from the local newspaper the Herald Tribune. I do not know of the authors other work but this is a thought provoking article. Especially, during a time of such rapid change in the accessability to a seemingly limitless depth of information. This Internet of information offers video lectures on many subjects, volumes of written text and digital textbook available to download in seconds.  With so much opportunity passion is a better outcome than the alternate of overwhelm...

What is it that we really want for our kids? We want them to be confident, courageous, content, caring and productive, right?

Although there's no insurance plan in child-rearing, we can at least know that our kids are well on their way to becoming all of those things if we can help them discover and nurture one thing — passion...
