Why Less Pressure Can Spark More Curiosity

Why can easing up on performance pressure and nurturing curiosity make a difference? This blog explores learning, brain activities, and games for children.

A result doesn’t have to be the only reason a child takes on a task. Sometimes they’re more interested in the process itself, an unexpected question, or the chance to choose how to proceed. This blog explores how brain activities relate to learning and offers games and ideas that leave room for discovery. Parents and teachers will find inspiration for encouraging children’s interest without turning every moment into a test of performance.
