My Son and Passive Teaching, Part 2

In a previous post, I talked about how Taoism encourages you to keep quiet, don't preach, and let your actions teach.

I talked about how my 15 month old son started pretend shaving after seeing me shave.

This weekend, I got yet another example of how kids soak up information like a sponge, and are all too familar with modern technology.

We had just finished lunch at California Pizza Kitchen, and the waiter returned my wife's credit card.

My son (who is now 25 months old) grabbed the card, and started swiping it, like he was using a pretend card reader!

He even "swiped" it with the magnetic strip down!
