How We Learn

Have you ever stopped to think about how we learn things? I was recently reflecting on when my 15-year-old was learning to drive. I had the unenviable job of teaching him. At the time, it struck me that he had to think about every little detail of what he was doing. He needed to be reminded to check his mirrors, signal his lane changes, look behind him when backing up, etc. Learning to drive requires absolute and complete attention. He didn’t even have the spare mental capacity to listen to music.
