Creating An Academically Friendly Home Environment: Part II

According to Amie Parker a teacher from Lynnwood, Washington the biggest factors in a child's success at school is parental involvement at home and school. The children whose parents listen to them read will learn to read the faster. The children whose parents talk with them regularly have the best vocabulary. The children whose parents explore new things with them have the best background knowledge.

In order to develop an academically friendly home environment, Stacy DeBroff believes the following:

1. Allow your child to do what comes naturally. Learning is an active process at all ages, and hands-on experience is a child's central route to discovering the world. All the academic learning, social skill development, and intellectual and emotional growth your child will experience begins with discovering their surroundings.

2. Studies show that close relationships with their young children help those children succeed academically in later years.

3. Parents must actively organize and monitor your child's time.

4. Parents must help and check homework.

5. Parents must discuss the school day with your child.

6. Parents must encourage their children to believe in themselves.

7. Parents must encourage their children to take reasonable risk.

8. Parents must instill a love for learning and encourage a healthy and positive attitude toward learning by always paying attention to your child's questions, interests and sharing your own.
