52 Ways to help your child learn
Introduction
Parents are teachers, too. Many parents, however, believe that "real" learning is done only in school. Granted, much of the basic knowledge a child must absorb to continue learning is received during the school day. But young children learn as naturally as they breathe. Each day of their lives they observe and explore the world around them.
Become a partner with your schools in teaching your child. You can work along with the teacher to spark curiosity, energy, and enthusiasm for learning.
Choose those suggestions from this publication which best fit your child's age and interests. If you have questions about the suggestions, discuss them with your child's teacher whose opinions may strengthen your own efforts.
REMEMBER! Listen with interest, encourage and ask questions, be generous with praise, enthusiasm and sympathy. You can bridge the gap between home and school and make learning fun for both of you.
