To Be A Child

Perseverance. What a concept. I was watching two of our grandchildren as they played games on my new computer. (The Vista operating system has some faults to be sure, but it has good games!) And I couldn't help but notice that the twins persevered throughout. They can't always click on the correct icon or follow the logic…but they don't stop. They keep right on clicking and moving until something works right. I had to compare their attitude to so many adults that I've tried to teach. With just a few failures on their part, they were ready to go back to writing on papyrus rather than learning how to use the software. And it's not just our grandchildren, it's most children. Childhood; it's good for you!
