Teach Me to Fly contains a myriad of exciting ideas regarding early childhood education, inspired by the theories of Meta-Thinker Shrii P.R. Sarkar. He said, “An educator’s aim is to motivate a child to desire to assimilate the entire universe.”
Adults can encourage children to see the universe as a tapestry with every thread, every aspect, interwoven with all else. As children tug and pull at knowledge, they unravel mystery everywhere. Teachers delight in the mystery and excitement of learning along with children. Teach Me to Fly approaches education from a spiritual angle, which will soften the hearts and sharpen the minds of adults caring for young children.
