Limiting learning to the classroom is a huge mistake.
Of course, school is a child’s primary source of intellectual and social
growth, but parents can really enhance their children’s desire to learn whilst
at home or on their travels. Manor
House School have put together the following advice to help parents
encourage learning outside of the classroom.
First of all, parents have to lead by example. If you
show are not interested in learning new things, reading or exploring, then
neither will your children. You can help your child find a love of reading from
a young age by reading to them and asking them to read to you. Explore
different genres until they find one they like, rather than giving up if they
don’t like the first few books. You could even let them pick their own books so
that they don’t consider it to be a boring chore.
