I pasted the wrong quote.

This was supposed to be in response to Sandra's experiences not enjoying
rebuilding an engine with her dad. Ignore the other quote, it was
leftover from a previous post.

Sorry for the confusion.

**I'm not sure that I like the whole "strew" paradigm, or maybe it's
just
the terminology. It does feel manipulative to me, like placing things on

a child's path and hoping that she'll "discover" them. I'm much more
inclined to get something, say,"This is a cool book about cat mummies in

Egypt, if you ever want to read it - it's going right here on the
bookshelf." and that's it. As she's gotten older, sometimes I've pulled
stuff out and said "Here, I think you might like this now" and she
either
does or doesn't.**

Yet more proof that it's a big waste to try to teach people things when
they aren't interested. If this had been something you wanted to do,
I'm sure your responses and level of enthusiasm would have been
completely different.
