The snow fell heavy, covering everything in silence.
No paths, no roads, no way to meet the neighbors.
The first step into the snow was the hardest.
Feet sank deep. It was wet, soft, uncomfortable.
But someone dared to go first.
It wasn’t easy, but they did it.
Then another person followed.
And another.
With each step, the path grew clearer, stronger, easier to cross.
Soon, everyone could pass freely. Some even walked back and forth, just for fun.
That’s how learning works in the brain.
Every time a child experiences something through the senses, it is like stepping into fresh snow. The parent’s role is to give it meaning with words or explanation. This creates the first trace.
At first, the signal in the brain moves slowly, as if sinking into deep snow.
But with each repetition, the path grows stronger, until information and associations can move quickly and easily along it.
Over time, many of these paths connect — and the child’s brain becomes a wide kingdom of knowledge.
And here, the parent’s role is essential: their awareness of this process helps to “clear the snow” in the child’s brain — making the paths easier to find, and the journey of learning lighter.
