I don't only believe they can, I believe it's their destiny.
Every time I watch little children I am stunned over and over again by their incredible capacity to soak in this new experience called life. They seem to assimilate huge amounts of information in so little time, growing exponentially and without prejudice in any direction life challenges them to go.
Truly, children are born geniuses. All of them. As a matter of fact, every person you have ever met is a genius. We live in a world of geniuses. It is what we are here for.
Our call in this world goes beyond surviving the odds as good as we can. We are called to develop ourselves adequately and to leave a legacy, to reach out into a hurting world and make it a better place to live in.
Each little child is fashioned for greatness. And each one of them is called to impact this world for good and to become an effective leader for tomorrow's generation.
Yes, greatness is not beyond the reach of any child. And depending on the education they'll receive, they will develop their genius to a higher or lesser degree.
That makes the goal of any educational method very simple. The word education comes from the Latin word educare, which means "to draw out." True education will draw out a child's genius. Period.
But what does that type of effective education look like? Throughout the history mankind this question has been answered in a myriad of different ways.
I personally believe that education cannot be put into a box. A good education allows the individual greatness of each child to emerge and develop. Therefore it looks very different from one child to the other.
Each one of them is a unique little person endued with a distinctive combination of God-given skills and talents that were placed there to fulfill the task they were called to accomplish here on earth.
And each one needs a tailor-made education to grow into what they were born to become.
We as parents have the responsibility to equip them with an education that will effectively prepare them for the challenges and opportunities of their generation.
Each generation faces its own share of crisis. And each crisis will instantly demand effective leadership. We as parents have to ask ourselves, "Will our children be ready to adopt the position of leadership they were destined for?"
So, how can we settle for anything less but the best education?
