Starting Young to Become a Continual Learner

Listen to Nanon de Gaspe Beaubien-Mattrick talk about creating early habits that encourage continual learning throughout your life.

That’s something that you should start young. Because if you believe in continual learning and you start young, then it becomes a habit. Anything that’s a habit, I think it’s well worth it. I say to my friends, ok, I always say when we have the cone of silence about relationships, they say how do you make it work? And I say, it’s like everything in life, you need to work to develop your brain, you have to work to keep your body in shape, you have to work at whatever you do. So why is a relationship any different than that? So that’s continual learning, continual growth in every areas of your life. And if you start young, and it becomes a habit, then it’s easier than if your old and you go, ugh, seriously, I’ve got to work at that also? So it’s like, get used it early. The kids are used to doing chores, working through things, making an effort, you know, being independent, then it's a habit, their used to figuring it out on their own. So many times I think I’m guilty of that, we step in and we do for them, and by doing for them, we take away the opportunity for them to do it for themselves and to learn the skill.
