ahhh.

Wonderful. Just wonderful.

heart warming

Very interesting, she can't tell visually ahead of time, but as soon as she feels how they fit, she knows if it's right or wrong.

You can see the wheels go 'round. She's like the glass cat in the Oz books ... she's got pink brains and you can see 'em work.

One of my most favorite things to do was sitting quietly by and watching them learn something.

You're right about that little sneeze.

Analytical mind She will probably solve some mathematical problem in about 20 years

Yes - the future solver of the grand unified theory!!

Precious.

I so enjoy watching children learn, and seeing the looks on their faces after their new discoveries and accomplishments.

I think I learn as much as they do, right along with them.

yes, quite possibly-- I always feared for my daughter with these boxes, I thought she might wobble forward and hurt her head on the corners. so I put them away until she was old enough to 'safely' play with them (about age 5 haha) then the question was, "where did those boxes go?!?"

It is so and always interesting to see the process how the young mind is developing

Thanks for sharing this, Allan.

"when two boxes are matched they become one for her and she'll have to repeat the process with any of the remaining boxes."

A very good observation.


If not a rocket scientist, then maybe a job at FedEx?

It's a wonderful video. It captures the essence of the moment. The child and the problem. We cannot see 'intuition' or 'reason' but at least one is at work in this demonstration of the learning process and I dare to speculate that there may be an innate intuition playing its part in the child's cognition.

The guesswork going on here from all who comment gives me a notion to write a quick verse.

the little one she uses math
innate within her neural path.
it is not math on cosmic scale
but gives her learning-curve a sail.
what she is now and what will be
are all writ down mathematically.
future rocket scientist perhaps?
- or physicist on large complex apps,
working in some future space city?

whatever will be will certainly be.


Another great post from you, Allan.
Thanks for sharing it.

Bravo, Loki!

Thank you both. The beauty of what I read and what I saw here inspired me.

i think it's interesting that she just kept going until the job was finished. good attention. charming video. i wish i could find that nested boxes. it would be a good present for my infant grandchildren.

sure... i have one in embryo, not sure of the sex yet; there are two one a year olds. one seven, an eleven year old, a ten year old, all girls except the eighteen year old who is masculine. i could be a great grandfather at any moment. that is indeed a wonder.

Pleasant.
