We place a high priority, not only on the physical health but the whole person. Education plays a major role in each child reaching their potential in life.
Monitor Developmental Milestones. Early intervention is critical if they are falling behind.
Reading is essential. Start early! Begin reading to them as a newborn.
Identify & develop their gifts/talents. As they grow, observe closely for what things they are interested in, what things they do well, what comes easily and what they are eager to do without you reminding them. Select positive activities that will help develop these skills.
Stay involved. Show an interest in their activities & hobbies.
Be an active participant in his/her education. Build a rapport with the teacher. Take advantage of the school websites, teacher blogs, PTSA updates on school activities. The teachers are a great asset but education starts at home.
This entire process will build self esteem, make you a closer family, help them socially by finding peers with similar interests and add building blocks for future careers.
