Let Children Tell What They Know

“NEVER tell a child what you can induce him to tell you. Here is a common mistake. Use all your powers of diplomacy in getting the child to put into words that which his mind grasps. It is worth infinitely more to him to tell some truth, even in a broken, bungling way, than to hear you tell it beautifully and eloquently. When he can tell it, he knows it. He may hear you tell it many times without knowing it. “Trying to tell it helps him to know it.”
