Set Learning Goals in Advance
Identify what skills you wish your child to learn, develop a curriculum, and establish learning goals for each child. Keep goals realistic and strive to attain them by engaging in the process of teaching your child.
Provide Continuous Instruction
Set up learning centers that encourage the use of senses (visual, auditory, taste, touch, etc.). Prepare daily activities and experiments that help foster learning. Work together to add variety and balance to the curriculum.
Incorporate Play-based Learning
Play-based learning is a “hands-on” type of education, with opportunities for children to explore and experiment with the world around them. During play, children learn more efficiently.
Balance Studies with Sports and Recreation
Balance is necessary for children to stay healthy. As a result, they must have time to have their interests, weed out their passions, and do things on their own.
It’s important to find a balance between studies and leisure time.
