7 1/2 Lifelong Learning Habits

'Play' will be the easiest for me b/c I feel that is what I am always doing. I try to be open to every new experience and I am always willing to explore. I have 2 small children and frequently we will spend an entire afternoon blowing bubbles or trying to catch bugs or making paper flowers, or doing any of the countless other things that fascinate children. Any new experience that presents itself, I am willing to try. (Every time we go to Disney the kids always get their faces painted so I decided to try it the last time and I loved it!)




'Teaching or mentoring' will be the hardest for me b/c I am just not a teacher. I have gotten better over the years just because I have children and must teach them things but I tend to always teach 'down', where I talk to the person like they're an idiot or I do the exact opposite and assume they know everything and just gloss over main points. I also do not have much patience so that makes teaching hard as well. This is something that I will have to continually work on.
