[quote=Anonymous]My favorite image that helps parents understand this: Three children are at separate tables trying to build a straight tower of blocks. A judge is outside, but can't see the effort and is told to award the best, straightest tower when he goes in. One child has a parent helping them create the perfect stack and they are done very quickly and leave. The second child stacks a few and they fall. Tries again, and they fall, gets pretty close to the top, and they fall. When time's up, the child has a semi-straight stack of about half of the blocks. The third child builds a bridge, knocks it down; builds a pyramid, knocks it down; builds a semi-circled wall, knocks it down; builds a tower, knocks it down; and when time is up the blocks are scattered across the table. The children leave. The judge comes in and awards first place to the first child. What did each child learn?[/quote]
