Quote

The news we have for beleaguered parents is this: Yes, children do need to spend time interacting with their parents (and teachers and child care professionals). But research shows that a child’s intellectual awakening takes place during the normal adult-child interactions that occur in everyday, purposeful activities. Parents easily foster self-confident learners through activities that gently challenge children to reach to the edge of their developmental level, but not beyond. Playful environments and spontaneous learning opportunities hold the keys for a happy, emotionally healthy, and intelligent child—and for a fulfilled parent.
