How to supplement your child's education ? My Blog

Even if our children attend best private or public school, their?education?is greatly affected by how we as parents approach it. ?Even if we help them with their homework assignment, school projects, sometimes that is not enough. ?What happens during holiday breaks, vacations, our kids seem to forget a great deal of what they have learned. ?What if you simply just like to add?additional?work to help them understand concepts, or you just like to add a program which your school is lacking.

For school breaks, summer vacations, and even weekends, our children have additional school work. ?Just 10?minutes a day spending on few extra math or word problem will greatly help your child. ?We also try to take the science concepts out of their textbooks and have hands on learning experience at home. ?With a positive attitude and approach your children will look?forward?to the extra work.

I have put together some of our favorite?resources?which have worked for us for many years.
