<p>[QUOTE=&quot;asciibaron, post: 370367, member: 8566&quot;]let them explore and discover things.&nbsp; my son is just about 7 and his enthusiasm is infectious, he loves looking at coins and is not limiting himself in anyway, nor am i.&nbsp; what i find mundane, he finds amazing - it&#039;s fun to watch him look though a box of coins - he picks out some very interesting coins - he knows only one thing - he likes them.&nbsp; that is enough for me and if it keeps his interests up, then it&#039;s a great way for him to learn.</p><p><br /></p><p>sadly, the best teacher is experience and for many, it&#039;s an expensive education.&nbsp; i was talking with my father last night about why i lost interest when i was 10 or so - i was only collecting coins i could get at coin shows - had i started with Lincoln cents i would have been able to be active and keep the enthusiasm going, even if i didn&#039;t find anything, i could still be &quot;doing&quot; the hobby.</p><p><br /></p><p>-Steve[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
