“Aha!” moments occur all the time. You've probably experienced a few of these. The “Aha!” moment happens when something that you haven't understood in the past all of a sudden has an answer. The light turns on. You understand something you hadn't understood before. It happened to my daughter when she had to learn the multiplication tables in grade school. We worked every night on them. She was frustrated. I was too. I tried everything, including incentives (Reese's Pieces). Nothing worked. Months went by … no changes. Then, all of a sudden in one night, she got it!! I don't have the foggiest idea to this day what changed. All of a sudden, she understood. Then, we began working on word problems.
