Education: The Key to Unlocking Children’s Success Stories

Parents should remember that the early years of education and parental involvement are essential. These are the years when the child’s mind develops and this makes him intelligent. Children who are not given special attention can have weak minds.

As an educator and administrator, I would strongly advise parents to teach their children the alphabet, numbers, colours, animal names, etc. at home before sending them to school, so that they will be confident when they get there.

Parents are children’s first teachers. The child’s mind comes to them in the form of a blank paper and they start writing on it through their words and actions. These are the daily routines that we do unconsciously and pass on to our unconscious, unconsciously.

Don’t Let Poverty Get in the Way of Raising a Happy Child

At some distance from the road, in the wilderness where there were no houses far away, there was a small cottage on the side of the way. Half had collapsed and half of the roof was still hanging on two walls. I entered the cottage from the back (the part which had fallen).

How to Upbring the Children? Parenting Styles

How to Upbring the Children? Parenting Styles

I’ve noticed that most parents have an “inherited parenting style” and they only raise their children in one way. Parents do not try to get any kind of training or help in this regard even though no more important responsibilities are coming into their lives. This method of inheritance gives no value to the child. This philosophy strongly believes that the stricter the parents are, the better the children will be, which is wrong and misleading.
