Delivering the Best Education for Your Kids

There are many factors that add up to our child's education and how it is delivered. School is not the only place for learning and ensuring that the home environment is a comfortable and stimulating area of learning is vital. As parents there are many things that we can do with our children from a very young age to ensure they have the best education and that it is delivered the way it should be. We have put together just a few ideas that will help make sure that your child receives the education that they deserve. Whether they are a budding Little Harvard student, interested in the creative arts or of a mathematical nature there are plenty of things that you can do to help. Take a look on some of points discussed by Helene Goldnadel below:


Be Interested


Show interest in your child's schoolwork and it will pay off. Do not limit the amount of time that you are able to dedicate to your child's work and extend your support to his/ her teacher too. Keep in contact with their teacher by phone or email so that there is an open relationship to discuss any issues that may arise. This will ensure that both parent and teacher feel comfortable to discuss anything to do with the child's education.


Study/Homework Space


School environments are purposely built to ensure that each child has a suitable work space that is ideal for learning. They are made up of plenty of light, a comfortable desk and chair, lots of supplies and space. A similar environment should exist at home where your child can sit down in the evenings to do their homework. This makes things a lot easier for the child to complete assignments and it is the perfect place that you can help out with their work too. Make sure their desk is well equipped with necessary school supplies and a desk lamp for the ideal study space.


Healthy Habits


Healthy eating habits are vital for children of a young age. Childhood obesity is at an epidemic level and it's time we do something to prevent it. Eating a healthy breakfast each morning is vital, encourage daily exercise and limit the amount of time spent watching television and playing with games consoles. It is very important that your child has a regular sleeping pattern also, choose a bedtime that suits your child making sure that they get plenty of sleep and stick to it on a daily basis.


Encourage and Succeed


One of the best and most effective ways to prepare our children for success in school in by showing optimism in their work and encouraging them to do well. Success starts at home and by giving your children a sense of ability, they are more likely to achieve goals and progress well in school. By making the expectation clear at home and promoting learning your child will be the best student that they can be.


Do not forget that those first years are one of the most important where your child grows and develops itself. For that investing time and effort for their education is essential. Home is where it all begins, so make sure you provide the right environment, love and support to spur and deliver the best education for your kids.

Helene Goldnadel on The Wisdom of Educational Toys

Long before your child is big enough to leaf through pages of a book or sit upright in front of a computer, he is already fit to learn - and learn he does. Toys that surround children make their own preschool. It is no secret that babies are attracted to bright colors and toddlers are fascinated with moving objects. Parents may observe their kids' eyes follow around a fallen cookie jar rolling on the kitchen floor or get attracted to medicine boxes and even specks of dirt on the floor they crawl on. This leads some parents to thinking that just about any toy would do. But parents can think again with the advent of the so-called educational toys. You might ask, "What makes a toy or any object for that matter educational?" Put in another way, what makes a shape sorter different from a plain rock or a piece of milk carton? Helene Goldnadel says the difference lies in how that toy promotes and enhances the developmental process in young children. With the knowledge of the ...

Instilling a Habit of Reading in Your Child

As all of us know, reading is one of the golden habits as it can help develop your child's creativity and also broaden their horizons. This is one habit that you would definitely want to instill in your child. Encouraging your child to read regularly requires a lot of time and patience. Children at school or kindergarten are quite young and can be influenced easily. Therefore, it is important that you are extremely sensitive towards their needs while teaching them to read. When a child learns to read, they are basically learning the art of putting disjointed letters together to form a word. This process can be quite slow and tiring for them and their attention span during this time is generally short. Don't get irritated with the child's slow progress. Helene Goldnadel suggests when you are introducing your child to the world of books; ensure that their first books are beautiful, well illustrated and colorful.
