Taking Time

Came across this lovely post by Ellie Wins . She writes…

“As a teacher, my job is to coach kids to do things they cannot yet do independently, or to push them past their established comfort zone to do something new. If not, they aren’t learning. This is what we expect from kids everyday, a massive slew of challenges, from developing fine motor abilities to soaking in cultural norms. One of the privileges of being an adult is that I can avoid activities that make me feel like a clumsy toddler all over again. It definitely saves me from making foolish mistakes in public, but I’ve been robbing myself of the opportunity to learn. And oh, my word, learning takes time.”
