“To be playful and serious at the same time is possible, and it defines the
ideal mental condition.”
-- John Dewey, How We Think
The most important task for parents: Be involved.
Parents are children's first and most important teachers. Seeing that your child gets a good education is your job and hopefully your top priority. The more involved you are, the better your child's chances of getting a good education.
Your child's success will depend on your attitude about education. Good students usually come from homes where parents try to create a rich learning environment.
