However, children learn constantly and automatically, and it\u2019s impossible to control who they\u2019ll become. Thus, instead of trying to control what they learn, we should be creating supportive environments that facilitate children\u2019s natural learning tendencies and drives.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To understand the nature of the gardener relationship with the child, it\u2019s essential to understand how children learn and develop and to support them in those processes. So, how do children learn? Gopnik highlights two major ways in which children learn: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/observational-learning-theory\/\">observational learning<\/a> (learning by watching others and imitating them) and learning from testimony (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/learn-by-listening\/\">learning by listening<\/a> to others).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Much of Gopnik\u2019s advice is based on personal experience and observations, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedaily.com\/releases\/2010\/12\/101202124244.htm#:~:text=recognize%20and%20assess%20their%20child%27s,parents%20are%20the%20%27architect%27%20or%20the\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">many experts agree<\/a> that parents should be attuned to their children\u2019s natural tendencies and traits and use that understanding to supportively guide them through life. Specifically, they suggest that parents should still help children identify and navigate positive and negative trajectories in life, but they should respond to the child\u2019s own trajectories\u2014and specifically, their learning trajectories\u2014and support them in achieving those.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-observational-learning-and-imitation\"><strong>Observational Learning and Imitation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Observational learning occurs when children observe others and learn from what they see, often imitating others\u2019 behavior to learn more deeply. Children don\u2019t have to be told that someone is teaching them something in order to learn. They learn not only activities that they see but also activities that adults do with them, and Gopnik implies that this is the best way to teach\u2014not with the goal of creating knowledge, but with the goal of doing things together, which she describes as love in practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gopnik cites various studies that show how children learn through observation. Kids pay close attention to the <em>intention<\/em> behind a behavior\u2014meaning they imitate not just the behavior itself but the goal behind the behavior. If they see an adult deliberately turn on the TV using a remote control, for example, they\u2019re more likely to imitate that behavior than if they see an adult turn on the TV accidentally by sitting on the remote control. They also notice and come up with alternative ways of doing things, including ways to make an action more efficient\u2014for instance, if they see someone taking unnecessary steps to accomplish something, they\u2019ll often learn to eliminate those steps and streamline the process to achieve the goal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Learning Through Testimony<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While almost all animals learn through observation, Gopnik argues that humans are unique in their ability to learn through language. We can explain things to each other orally, and as we grow older we can recognize and decode signs and symbols in print to understand their meaning (in short, we can read).&nbsp;Because of this, talking and reading to children is hugely important to their development, and Gopnik notes it as one of the few genuinely effective ways caregivers should consciously teach children because it creates an environment that facilitates growth and learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, in keeping with the gardener model, making a deliberate plan about how you\u2019ll use language to teach a child isn\u2019t likely to have much effect because you can\u2019t control <em>how<\/em> they process and interpret that information. You can only offer it to them so they can use it to grow, like plants in a garden.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How do children learn?
