“Study hard what interests you the most in the most undisciplined, irreverent and original manner possible.”

I'm the proud father of three young children. Since they were born parenting has become somewhat of a hobby for me. In this blog I intend to share various information about parenting that I think might be useful to other parents who share my philosophy about raising children.
I should declare that don't have any certified training in early childhood development. But how many parents can say they do? Before I had children, I can honestly say I had no interest in child development but this leads me to my main point: we learn best those things which interest us.
Along with filling our child's lives with security, mouths with food and hearts with love, one of the most important responsibilities as a parent is to fill their minds with knowledge.
I don't believe that I've been gifted with any special talents in life. In fact, most people are born with more or less the same potential. But what I do know is that learning was never difficult when I was interested, engaged, and curious about the subject. On the contrary, it was laborious and difficult when my curiosity was not sparked.
If it's a parents job to fill their child's mind with knowledge, and if interest and curiosity are the keys to making learning easy, then a parent will do well by sparking the interest and curiosity in their children.
I've always loved teaching. I hope that these blog series will inspire you to become interested and curious in parenting, as I have. And I hope they will facilitate you to raise interested and curious children.
