She said Daddy will tell the story and she doesn't have to do anything. She doesn't want to go through the material herself because she JUST did it. (Which we didn't; we are in Acharei Mos now. But i guess she still remembers it.)<br /><br />I asked her why she thinks we learn things over and over and she rolled her eyes at me and said she JUST did it.arijesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04054624664476807741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4301845215340975827.post-59768140552143350302014-04-08T10:22:29.606-07:002014-04-08T10:22:29.606-07:00Dr. Emily Amie Witty suggests:

Planning is great, but spontaneity of questioning is also valuable. This might also be a case where unschooling is possible, allowing her to engage in whichever way she chooses.<br /><br />Also, it sounds like she hasn't yet seen the possibility for new insight into a familiar story.<br /><br />Have you asked her why she thinks that you and Ari go back and study it every year if you already know the story, or why the great chachamim would go back and study it. Maybe if she likes that question she could (unconciously) apply whatever answer she comes up with to herself.Yaakovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11790728277413993602noreply@blogger.com
