I’m no expert. In addition to pointing my children toward health and happiness, I selfishly hoped that one day they would lead me into new worlds of thought and adventures. And they have! Here’s my recipe: All children are born curious and unselfconscious. A parent should strive to keep these flourishing. The former must be nourished. • “Name me two things you can eat that have seeds and are neither green nor red.” The latter never quashed. • Encourage your six-year-old to engage in a dialog where neither parent nor child speaks a single intelligible word, with meaning coming from intonation and gesture. Eliminate TV: A child’s creativity will be insidiously flattened by television’s bland pap. Disney is not Dickens. Avoid commercial toys: A large, empty box, scissors, glue, and a packet of markers is better than a Barbie and a Luke Skywalker. Glitter is as good as garlic. Tell jokes…and laugh when your child tells one of her own. Keira: Thanks for the compliment. I’m no expert.
