In her book, Dr.
Lilian Katz (together with her son Stephen) writes:
"Remember that adults know more about almost
everything than a small child does -- except what it feels like to be that
child, and how the world makes sense to him or her. Those things are the
child's expertise which a teacher must learn in order to be able to reach and
teach the child". She continues with: "Take care not to confuse what is
exciting, amusing and fun with what is educative. Excitement is
appropriate for entertainment and special occasions; it is short-lived pleasure
-- easy come, easy go. But what is educative requires sustained effort
and involvement, often includes many routine elements, and offers long term
deep satisfaction rather than momentary fun and excitement."
