- Parents learn with their children and foster a love of lifelong learning.

- Kids thrive on diversity of information.
- Be organized.
- Create an environment free of distractions.
- Make sure your child is rested, well-fed, and happy before you start teaching.
- Don’t be boring.
- Stop each lesson after a success, never a failure or setback.
- Relax, relax, relax.
- Be flexible.
- If your child gives the wrong answer, don’t keep harping on it; she is trying, after all. Give the correct answer and keep teaching.
- Always keep your promises.
- Trust your children and yourself throughout the learning process.
- Take the time to answer questions with correct answers, factual information, honesty, and clarity.
