When I was young my grandfather wouldn’t speak when he taught me things. I remember just watching him. He would ask me a question, then simply nod when I had answered and continue his task. He wouldn’t tell me if I was right, or wrong. He wouldn’t teach, he would simply show. He would take me outside and tell me stories. We need to tell more stories, show rather than tell, and question rather than answer.

Awesome 👏🏽
In ancient Hawaii, #Kumu (teacher) would instruct through storytelling, as well. It was common practice to pass down knowledge to the #Keiki (children/NextGen). They would couple that would demonstrations/experiences as means of learning, too.
Unfortunately, storytelling is somewhat of a forgotten (less practiced) common/critical practice.
