Homeschool or Not

key element in the success of your child's education is parental involvement. Homeschooling is an extra-mile way to do that, but parenting is all about going the second mile for your kids.

The initial issue of THINK magazine has an article called "Helping Your Child Succeed in School". here are the suggestions given by its author Rebecca Rushmore:
1) Offer praise liberally.
2) Break jobs into small manageable tasks
3) Teach good study habits
4) Become familiar with the child's learning style
5) Make use of available resources
6) Whatever you choose to do, be consistent.

I would add that asking questions that require your child to communicate, and setting an atmosphere of openness to his/her ideas is crucial. Whether or not you home school, be involved in their education. They will know how important their education is by the amount of time and effort you give to such ideas as Ms Rushmore's.
Successful kids are the product of their own hard work, but the nurturing of their parents is a important ingredient.
