Children spend twice as much time at home as in school

Home is the first school of the child. It is believed that the first 5 years of the child are very crucial. Right from the day the child is born he observes and picks ups things that he/she sees or hears at his home. He imitates what he sees and hears from his parents. This is the time when he picks ups values from his home. So set a good example for your child.
So parents be very careful ……..
Did you know…
· Before your child starts kindergarten, he would have spent about 17,500 waking hours with you at home already?[4 years x 365 x 12 hours = 17,520]
· During a typical school day each child receives approximately 11 minutes of individual attention?[40 minutes ÷ 30 children x 8 classes = 10.66]
The relaxed surroundings of your home provide a more suitable environment for your child to learn?
Make the most of your child’s time and provide him proper environment for learning

Some of the key attributes of highly successful individuals are:

• Job skills - knowledge and skills of the particular field
• Analytical skills - imagination, creative thinking, reasoning, decision making, etc.
• Social skills - interacting, managing and motivating others
• Personal attitudes - self discipline, will power, ambition, optimism, etc.
• Values - integrity, honesty, respect, tolerance, empathy, etc.
Most of these skills and values are not formally taught in schools and colleges!
These are skills children learn at home from their children so be your childs first and best teacher......
