B n Q - For that Beauty to Shine!

All children's learning process starts at home. Good parental support and help can bring out the best in every child. Young children learn and progress better with the help of the adults they trust and respect.

Why do experts believe that parents are their children?s best learning companions?

•    Undivided attention

As parents, you give your undivided attention to your children. You always find time to be with them. You care for their needs because they are young. You know they need your protection. Your undivided attention is their greatest emotional support.

•  One to one relationship

You are unique because you are able to establish a one to one relationship with your child easily. As you grow to know your child, you will feel a special bond between the two of you. Nobody else can establish such special relationship with your child. This also helps to build physical closeness and emotional experience for both children and parents.

•       Building mutual language and common reference

The special bond parents have with their children built a mutual language and common reference with their children. They can easily use this mutual understanding to help their children in the process of learning new skills every now and then. Having this special common reference, children would feel confident with their learning.

•       Praises are cherished

As your children are with you at home most of the time, they can only receive praises from you. These praises are cherished and sought after every time a new skill is learnt. Praises from parents are forever treasured by children. These precious moments are the ones they reflect on later.

• Create suitable sharing moments

Parents know when and how to create sharing moments with their children. Children will always look forward to the moments. Their eagerness to learn is coupled with the need to have a wiser learning companion.  Your past experience makes you a wise and sensible learning companion.

• Children respond better to adults they trust        

This is very true. Children do not feel shy when they are learning with the people they trust. They make mistakes, but able to correct them when reprimanded gently by their loving parents. Parents always radiate a sense of affection to their children. No matter how strict some parents are, they are the ones young children turn to.  Children share a bond with their parents, a mutual language that people outside the circle would not understand.

•     Less pressure with parents

Unlike learning under the guidance of a teacher, children learn better even with their strict parents. Most parents are quite patient even when their children make mistakes. They laugh over the mistakes and encourage their children to go on. They do not stop to nag. Children thrive in this learning environment.   

•     Can identify learning problems and get professional help

Early detection in learning problems can help a child in overcoming his learning difficulties later. Usually parents who spend time learning with their children will be able to identify the problems. They will immediately seek professional helps and this in turn will enable their children to learn normally later with their peers.

•    'Always there' reminder

Children's early childhood learning process is always rest assured by the fact that their parents are always there for them. This gives them an air of confidence to continue to explore and learn new things everyday. 

 
Children who have learned with the help from their parents always show better results in all fields. To them, learning is fun and enjoyable. They will not stop learning. They also like to share what they have learned with their peers.

Do you, as a parent believe that your child is smart and intelligent? There is only one way for you to find out. Sacrifice some time everyday to explore and learn with them. Children grow up very fast. If you miss the chance of becoming their learning partner when they are young, you have missed the opportunity to be the most important person in their lives!
