How Your CHILD Learns - Garner Ted Armstrong - August 1961

Garner Ted Armstrong

HOW does your child learn - and WHEN should you begin to teach him? Here is the tenth installment on Child Rearing. Human beings are creatures of habit! Not very many people, it seems, have ever stopped to ask themselves how it is they have come to believe the various concepts, philosophies and doctrines they assume to be true. Each one of us came into existence as a baby, knowing absolutely NOTHING at birth. The human child is the most helpless of all newborn creatures. The young colt, the calf, even the baby porpoise and whale are able to stand, walk, leap at swim within hours, even minutes after birth! But they are creatures of instinct! A human being does not have instinct, but a MIND! No one had to teach the young colt where to go for its "dinner" It simply went there - automatically! But God gave man a mind capable of accumulating knowledge. It is a mind much like the mind of God, though limited in its capacity. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
