Great list! One thing I try to convey is that there's a lot we don't know. In a lot of their questions about the nature of the world, of history, of human nature, etc they look for an absolute answer ...
Ah yes, excellent point! I wasted too much time caring and being so sure about the wrong things. Children, I believe, are naturally open and curious, so nurturing it and protecting it is our responsibility. Being amazed by everything as well, is something I love in people. I guess what I’m saying is, I would like them to be able to recognise worthwhile work and when they encounter it, have the courage and discipline to commit to it.
