#0048: This President hardly went to school

Reading time: 9.05 min

Hey !!👋

This week lets read about:

• The President who was a self-learner

• Adi is playing violent games calmly

• Bonding with distracted kids

Abraham Lincoln was largely self-taught and had only about one year of formal education. He grew up on the frontier in a rural area where there were no schools nearby.

He was an avid reader and had a great curiosity and desire to learn.

Lincoln would often borrow books from his neighbors and read them by the firelight at night. He read the Bible, Shakespeare, and other classic works of literature.

He also had a particular interest in politics and law and would borrow law books to study in his free time.

When he was elected to the Illinois State Legislature, he used the opportunity to read and learn from the books available in the legislative library.

Later, when he became a lawyer, he continued to read and study the law, often walking long distances to borrow books from other lawyers.

Adi has been playing violent games calmly

Adi has been playing online games with girls this week and I see a change, he does not scream and shout instead he is quite composed.

He is patient, not using any slangs while playing.

He even helps his friends understand the game better and encourages them to keep playing with strategies and tactics.

This is very remarkable for me since I used to see him get quite aggressive while playing with boys.

What surprises me is that he used to play the same games with boys and was quite competitive as compared to playing it with girls. It is nice to see him being supportive and caring while gaming.

Bonding with distracted kids

When kids are all over the place, and not listening, it's usually because of underlying issues that go beyond simply being hyperactive or disorganized.

Sometimes you wonder why kids are distracted. It's often because of bigger issues that are causing the inattention.

There are many factors that can contribute to a child's distractibility. Here are some potential causes:

• Environmental factors

• Sleep problems

• Emotional problems

• Nutrition

• Screen time

It's important to note that some degree of distractibility is normal in children, especially in younger children who are still developing their attentional abilities.

However, if a child's distractibility is persistent and impacts their ability to function effectively in daily life, it may be helpful to understand kids and find the solutions
