Sparking a child’s curiosity can be one of the important
keys to lifelong learning. Parents can play a vital role in this process.
For
example, parents can make up trivia games to play with children, even when
you’re on the run.
You can also help children become
active partners in the learning process by giving them a chance to experiment
around the house with measuring, cooking, repairing broken items, and other
activities that require finding and using information.
You’d be surprised at what your
home yields if you look around with a curious eye.
Also, be sure to know what’s going
on in your child’s school.
Attend school events and send notes
to teachers to express your availability to help. Write teachers to ask if you
may phone them if you have questions or concerns.
Get involved with your children by
asking for detailed descriptions of what they’re studying at school. Have them
teach you some parts of what they’re learning.
Be sure your children know that you
consider schooling very, very important.
Even if you can only attend a few
school events, your presence will show your children that you’re interested in
their school life and value its importance.
That’s a crucial lesson for them to learn and it can
only come from the home.
