Learning at home

Home is the best place for a child to learn. Things learnt at home help them lead a good life later on. Children who are taught good lessons at home know how to behave with whom. They need to learn discipline, manners and values. They should be taught their responsibility towards society and nation as well. However it is unfortunate that in today's fast-paced life, parents cannot allocate much time to their children. So, they are growing up without their parents' company and teachings. Sadly, many of them are being raised by house helps. We hardly find the existence of joint-families nowadays. So, learning from home is now on the decline.

It has been seen that families' engagement in their child's education at home and at school often yields higher academic achievements than those who do not. When families are engaged in their child's school life, children develop a love of learning that will expand their knowledge base and sense of wonder. The more parents are involved with children's education, the more the motivation, positive behaviours, and good grades. So, we urge all parents to spend more and quality time with their children and make them more competent for their future.
