Is it bad if things don't last? How parents can help children find their own passions
I am turning the conversation I had on YouTube the other day into an article.
I have summarized it simply and clearly, so
please watch the video for more details.
It's okay to get bored, it's okay to fail.
Creating an environment that trusts a child's "likes"
“They get bored of things they just started right away,” “It doesn't last long”...
Do you have worries like these?
But, think about it.
Even we adults
sometimes get bored of things we were obsessed with just yesterday, right?
In Nosuke-san's classroom,
it is "free" to choose something else once you get bored.
From programming to Canva, then to Minecraft,
we do not stop a child's interests from shifting.
Instead of thinking "it's over once you get bored,"
we reframe it as "the door to the next excitement has opened."
"Boredom" is proof that curiosity is growing
Parents and mentors
don't need to be desperate
to keep them from getting bored;
it is enough to just provide an environment where the child can
choose for themselves, "What shall I do next?"
Instead of seeing a child's shifting interests as "weakness of will,"
why not believe in it as
"proof that their curiosity is expanding richly"?
That trust is,
more than anything else, the fertilizer
for a child to raise themselves.
Parenting worries, life's confusion,
anxiety about the path ahead...

losing the space in your heart?
