On Challenging Children to Grow Intellectually

"Children must be given a problem at the beginning and the children try to solve it. You don’t have to tell them exactly what to do all the time. You don’t have to say,  'This is the only right way.' You don’t correct (them) right away. You say, 'Try more! Try more! Try more!'" (Paavo Sivonen, Joensuu, Finland)
