Parental Help in Children’s ESL Education - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Alumni Experiences
Children are said to be wet clay that can be molded to give the desired shape. And, this shape can be collaboratively given by the parents and the school. Even though teachers play a great role to teach children, parents can do much more in their children's education. Almost three-quarters of the time of a schooling child spent at home, which means most of the lessons & behavior is adapted by them from their family. Therefore, parents are always said to be the first teacher of a child.

Roles of Parents in a Child's Education - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Teaching Ideas
Education starts at home. A child does not start and stop learning in school. They will always learn whether it is at home, in school, with friends or even other influences such as the internet. Therefore, a child's very first teacher or role model is their parents. Parent's engagement in a child's learning process is very crucial in shaping their character. Parents should not only rely on the child's school in education. Having both the parents and school teachers working hand in hand is one of the best combinations in getting the child to be interested in learning and to become a better person in the future.
