Episode 44: Cultivating Curiosity and Wonder with Margie Tours
/This weekend my daughters had the chance to sit down with an actual Astrophysicist and ask her their big questions about the universe. Guess what most of the answers to the burning questions my daughters had (like what was there before the "big bang"? and how could there be NOTHING??") were: We don't know, and we will likely never know.
Talk about an invitation to get comfortable in a place of "not knowing" right??
And that's really what wonder and curiosity are, right? Delighting in the not knowing. Allowing the desire to know more to fill you! And these two qualities are essential for a life long love of learning that most of us dearly want for our kids!
And with the current state of the world, with so many of us serving not just as parents but also teachers, I wanted to support you in that! So, I brought in my friend and fellow "Wonder Enthusiast" (yes, that's a thing, I promise!) Margie Tours who is a Biologist, a Mom, and an Educator. She's passionate about making science simple and cultivating curiosity and enjoy a sense of wonder of the world around us without always getting the "right" answer.
She'll help us:
Understand the need to encourage curiosity
Believe that cultivating curiosity can deepen parent-child relationship
Know the tools to cultivate curiosity and wonder
