As anyone who has taken a car trip with a toddler will tell you, they have a seemingly endless urge to ask questions about whatever pops into their heads. And yet, many kids end up bored and alienated at school. What can parents do to sustain their natural curiosity?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Learning Household,\u003c\/i\u003e educators Ken Bain and Marsha Marshall Bain argue that parents can do a lot. Too often, however, parents emphasize grades instead of instilling the creativity, grit, and enthusiasm necessary to navigate a rapidly changing world. At its best, school provides opportunities to cultivate innovation and apply knowledge to novel problems. But before children can experience such an education, parents must create “a learning household” in which they encourage children to ask thoughtful questions rather than memorize correct answers, to discover their passions rather than fret about report cards, and to take risks rather than worry about failing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProviding dozens of activities that can be adapted to meet the needs of every family, \u003ci\u003eThe Learning Household\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential guide to bringing curiosity back to the classroom and fostering an appreciation for the intrinsic value of learning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003eKen Bain was President of the Best Teachers Institute.
