Yet another week of holidays. It means yet another week when he was busy playing with his friends or doing things that do not fit into the planned scheme of things. So far, the month of May has been a washout when it comes to the structured way I had planned to go about things. My wife's worries that he is wasting his time are getting accentuated.
But then I heard a podcast today: https://www.cnbctv18.com/buzz/why-my-daughters-dont-go-to-school-anymore-natasha-badhwar-talks-about-the-power-of-unschooling-3261471.htm
Great words stemming out of experience!!
And he suddenly decided to pick up on a project he had wanted to do but had not come around to. He wants to understand the stock market and the first step is to understand the companies that are actually listed. So he spent the day trying to find out about Maruti Suzuki - I helped by getting him a stock price movement chart but he did the rest. It is a project that will be done over some time and I hope he gets something out of it - what I am not sure though.. and that is the beauty of this experiment. It keeps surprising us with the breadth of interests and learning that can be catered to.
