Incidentally, this quality of curiosity that the child possesses can fuel a child’s desire to learn. Instilling a passion for learning can bring drastic changes in the life of the student. Nurturing your child’s curiosity is an important tool through which you can help them become a lifelong learner. Curiosity boosts learning and helps in strengthening memory. Our national educational policy (NEP 2020) suggested the various methods through which curiosity can be developed in the students.
