The possibility of the dream gives strength.
Just as the bird needs wings to fly, a leader needs useful information to flow. Leaders learn.
Have faith that your child's brain is an evolving planet that rotates at its own speed. It will naturally be attracted to or repel certain subjects. Be patient. Just as there are ugly ducklings that turn into beautiful swans, there are rebellious kids and slow learners that turn into serious innovators and hardcore intellectuals.
If you are willing to be a self-learner, you will develop yourself.
