Teaching Kids

Here is another great tip from the Parenting Place.

Even if you don’t know much about curriculums, national standards, or current teaching methods, you can still have a huge influence on your child’s educational experience.

All through the preschool years you’re helping them to develop skills in number and letter recognition. Counting the number of jumps to the end of the hallway, grouping together animals whose names start with the same sound, or asking them to explain their artistic creations to relatives are just some of the ways that parents are laying the foundation for success at school. Asking them lots of questions is great for encouraging critical thinking skills, and of course, you can never read too many stories together!
