Learning and Nurturing Abilities

From the wise three year old in me:

"It takes me longer to learn
It takes me longer to understand
It takes me longer to find solutions.... But this is changing.  As I practice I develop my brain and as I nurture myself I evolve as human"

It is important for me to take my time to first understand how important a subject is so that I take interest in learning how to do, resolve or maintain something.
The reason why three year olds ask "Why" a lot has two parts:
1.  The sense of curiosity and exploring is natural
2.  They want to UNDERSTAND why the subject is important in relationship to their life.
Without an adult explaining the importance of the subject in a way a child would understand, the child's mind will refuse to learn.
The first seed to plant when training a child is to capture his/her attention.
Second, we have to keep the child engaged.
Third, is to keep track and celebrate his/her success,  correct errors and give more practice time or find other ways to teach/train the child if he/she is not succeeding.
