**Curiosity is How We Learn Best**

Kids are amazing learners, but sometimes, we forget to trust their curiosity.

In our busy world, we often rush to make things quick and easy. We want them to know all the answers right away instead of giving them time to wonder and explore.

But what if we let kids *not know* for a little while?

What if we let them start projects they don’t finish or ask questions that don’t have answers yet?

💡 That’s how curiosity grows.

The book "When You Wonder, You’re Learning" by Gregg Behr and Ryan Rydzewski talks about how learning happens when we’re curious. When we notice something we don’t understand, it makes us want to learn more. But once we feel like we know everything, that curiosity can go away.

So, how does this help when teaching kids about money or Bitcoin?

There’s something called the **information gap**. This means kids need to know a little bit about something before they can become interested in it. If we teach money ideas in a way that connects to what kids already know, it helps them stay curious and want to learn more.

Fred Rogers (you know, Mister Rogers!) said kids learn best when new ideas feel familiar but also a little mysterious.

Mystery makes learning fun!

When we teach kids about money or Bitcoin, we should balance what they already know with new ideas that make them wonder.

It’s okay if they don’t get it all right away.

Their curiosity will help them figure it out over time.
