Children’s brains are blank slates that can be taught many things.
Adult’s brains are basically set in stone after a certain time...................

I know that I have a tough time learning new tricks. I'm 72 now. When I was 41 years old I tried to learn Chinese. Even at that age it was next to impossible. Reduced hearing didn't help much with that either.

It is very important to coax very young children into the learning mode. Their sponge-brains soak up knowledge and skills really fast and with high retention.

Parents really need to be there before their kids reach school age. Now I think homeschooling is the best way to go. I used to think public schools were OK; however, they just are not. Public schools are destructive.
