Between birth and age 18, children spend just 9 percent of their time in school. That' s why your home environment is so important. Parents help the schools lay the groundwork for achievement in many ways. A work ethic and patterns for academic success are largely built in the home.
Children thrive on orderliness.
Keep a fairly regular schedule for meals, play, and work time. Set a regular bedtime. Children learn language at home, and spoken language gives children the foundation for better reading and writing. As children grow older, they need daily conversations as a way to develop values, test ideas, and share their thoughts. Give your child responsibilities at home.
