The parents’ role

1.        

In the early years, parents are their children’s first teachers — exploring nature, reading together, cooking together, and counting together. When a young child begins formal school, the parents’ job is to show him how school can extend the learning they began together at home, and how exciting and meaningful this learning can be. As preschoolers grow into school-age kids, parents become their children’s learning coaches.

2.        

“One of the most important things a parent can do is noticing her child. Is he a talker or is he shy? Find out what interests him and help him explore it. Let your child show you the way he likes to learn,” recommends Dalton Miller-Jones, Ph.D.

3.        

Many teachers encourage parents to go over what their children are learning in a non-pressured way and to practice what they have learnt. This doesn’t mean training them for success, but it may mean going over basic counting skills, multiplication tables or letter recognition, depending on the needs and learning level of their child.

4.        

Make learning part of your child’s everyday experience, especially when it comes out of your child’s natural questions. When you cook together, do measuring math. When you drive in the car, count license plates and talk about the states. When you turn on the blender, explore how it works together.

5.        

Take up a new language or craft, or read about an unfamiliar topic. Show your child what you are learning and how you may be struggling. You’ll gain a better understanding of what your child is going through and your child may develop learning skills by watching.
