Children have an innate sense of curiosity and wonder about the world around them. Dr. Diane Schnoor suggests that you don’t need to formally teach your young child but rather allow the learning process to happen by supporting their natural curiosity and wonder.

In this episode, Dr. Diane, an early childhood education expert, talks about the natural curiosity of young children and how parents can encourage and maintain this sense of wonder. She helps parents pay attention to their child's cues and provide opportunities for exploration and vocabulary building in the everyday. Dr. Diane Schnoor also emphasizes the importance of engaging in scientific activities, even at a very young age. Science is about developing connections with the world around us and she gives you the tools to do this.
