It’s well known that children learn in heaps and bounds, every day! They do this simply by playing with toys, solving puzzles, and observing the environment around them. In fact, children learn so much so quickly that they achieve a vocabulary of around 6,000 words by the age of six.
But what motivates them to learn? Well firstly, kids are curious. Secondly, they don’t have the stresses and constraints of a job, mortgage and all the other responsibilities that come with being an adult.
Yet, in the techno-savvy times of today, adults are expected to learn and adapt to changing work demands all the time. But they’re busy, preoccupied, and often lack the motivation. And without motivation, all the training in the world won’t lead to real learning.
