Parents should be more involved in the pursuit of good education for their children, even if only in increments and within a supplementary context. Not all you do has to be direct, like tutoring or playing teacher at home. Supporting your kids’ studies can come in other ways.
Firstly, parents could keep in touch more with the kids’ teachers and happenings in the school. This shouldn’t be limited to attending regular parents-teachers conferences. Regularly read the school’s newsletters and get involved in fundraising activities to get to know your child’s teachers better. This is a good way to indirectly inquire about the subjects where your child needs to improve, as well as his or her behavior in the classroom.
You could also encourage learning in the home by now and then watching documentaries with your kids. The television can still be very helpful in fostering family time and addressing your kid’s curiosity. Set aside weekly periods for watching a good program on History Channel, Discovery, or BBC. Patiently answer your kids’ questions about various concepts presented, or, if the queries prove too complex, aid them in fact-checking using websites or books.
Which brings us to the importance of encouraging your children to read books. Children often start to hate reading because certain books are required for their subjects. But developing in them this appreciation of picking up a book and reading on their own early on is a huge way to aid learning. Begin by setting up a mini-library which they can peruse. Have a good balance of classic and modern literature on the shelves.
