RE: Of Average Impact

in LeoFinance28 days ago (edited)

One of my nephews learned how to use his own Youtube account to watch what he likes on a tablet when he was 11 months old, before learning how to walk and talk. Scary!

There are few steps that I discovered, such as learning how to swim, learning an martial art when you are old enough ot understand it on some level, doing long walks and physical games. But this does not address the problem of others. One of my cousins raised his kids without screens, not even TV. The older girl is very mature emotionally and socially, but she lacks some technical intelligence and awareness. I am waiting to see how this will change when she will go to school. There are pluses and minuses each way, I think the key to success is use it in moderation, and learning how to detect addiction and to control it. The researches done on marshmallow test are brilliant to find more about the modern behaviour and how to shape it optimally. Combine that with the Polgar observations (the guy who raised 3 Chessmasters, all girls) and you may get some good feed back.

That is crazy!

But, does it matter if she has all the base skills to learn well? Or does it matter if one has all the technical skills at that age, but can't learn much else well? I think having core skills means being able to learn more later, so the potential is higher. Having secondary skills early, might not be able to make up for the lack of core.

I got two little hacks to learn all my cousins, nephews/nieces. First, at age 8-9 - fast reading techniques, if they practice few months, their reading speed will at least double. The time you save in your whole life is huge, once you get this. Then, as they reach 14, fast-learning techniques and memory-enhancing skills. Also, time-savings.

Also, the secret sauce, learning more similar stuff will get you quicker where you want. Let's take foreign language, the Latin group has French, Spanish, Romanian, Italian, Portuguese. Each of them, if you learn them all. will take less when you do it, as they got similar words. The same works with musical instruments, the more you learn, the better you get at feeling the music. But I think piano or guitar must be first. In my humble opinion.
