The Great Inquisitive Mind

Get ready to answer the most important questions children at this age ask: "How?" and "Why?". The child enters the stage of exploring the process of learning itself, searching for ways to achieve results, using their imagination, and already able to concentrate on performing complex cognitive tasks.

It is important for adults to understand that children who gradually transition to an adult form of learning and have had ample playtime in their preschool years are eager to go to school and learn for the sake of learning itself. Typically, they do this well and easily.

The child synchronizes with the world through principles. It is important to explain to them that everything around us was invented by someone. Everyday life is filled with unique codes and solutions: there was no light – electricity was invented, people wanted to move faster – the car was created, and before that, horses were harnessed.
Humans constantly strive to simplify everyday life, making it more comfortable and easier. The child needs to understand that any task can be solved. They need to realize that they can use an existing solution to achieve the desired result or come up with their own.

Goal and task – these are the foundations for finding solutions. Even a simple trip to the forest for a picnic with parents can be approached differently by children. Some will help mom pack food in the basket, some will take a kite to fly with dad, and others will bring a net to catch dragonflies. The most important thing is that the child at this age is already capable of solving specific tasks, making their days more interesting and varied.

"I can invent anything because my idea can be the foundation."

In other words, children aged 5 to 7 can be called engineers, who are constantly pondering how the world is arranged.
