“Children learn best when they like their teacher, and they think their teacher likes them.” - Dr. Gordon Neufeld
Teaching is getting harder, not easier — even though teachers have never been more educated, technology so advanced, curriculum so refined, and pedagogy so honed. Although these factors are important, the true problem in learning lies elsewhere — in the teachability of our students. The answer to the waning teachability of students is not to teach harder, but to teach differently, harnessing the most powerful motivating force of all: attachment.
When attachment is present, learning follows naturally — not because connection motivates the child, but because it is the developmental context in which growth unfolds.
