I came accross an article recently on the role of parents which was very interesting so I thought I would share it with you.

Key takeaways were

- Pay attention to what your child loves
- Tune into how your child learns
- Practice what your child learns at school
- Set aside time to read together
- Connect what your child learns to everyday life
- Connect what your child learns to the world
- Help your child take charge of his learning
- Don’t over-schedule your child
- Keep TV to a minimum
- Learn something new yourself
