| Summary: | Parents who spend time with their children have the greatest impact on their children's educational development. According to one survey, the average parent spends only a few minutes a day with his or her child. Active listening and verbal feedback by a parent can increase a child's self-confidence. Offering the child problem-solving opportunities and praising the child's suggestions also increase his or her feelings of self-worth. Education specialists suggest that by honoring children, discussing their daily activities, and focusing on the positive aspects of the things that they do, parents can help make their children better communicators and learners.
