About this ebook
Grab those golden opportunities to develop kids’ love of learning—even if they hate homework.
For parents, educators, or anyone who wants to help kids learn and grow, The Teachable Minute reveals how to take advantage of every chance to Show, Ask, or Teach—in everyday settings and during common experiences. You can find those precious minutes at gas stations and grocery stores, banks and bus stops, on an airplane, at the hospital, the vet’s office—and in your own backyard. This book includes ideas, questions, and conversation starters for a wide variety of specific circumstances, whether at an ATM or an amusement park, along with tips on how to recognize a Teachable Minute in the midst of a busy day.
When we make time to Show, Ask, or Teach kids something as we accompany them through the world, we not only engage them and encourage them to pursue knowledge on their own—we also give them our time and undivided attention, forging a stronger connection that we, and they, will cherish in the years to come.
