Those vital years lay down the pathways on which all future learning is based. After age ten, the branches that haven't made connections die off.
Youngsters are their own best educators, parents their best first teachers.
Youngsters learn best by what they experience with all their senses, so stimulate these senses. Our homes, beaches, forests, playgrounds, zoos, museums and adventure areas are the world's best schools. Simple physical routines can help infants explode into learning. Infants grow in a patterned way, so learn to build on that growth pattern. Learning anything, including reading, writing and math, can and should be fun.
