Wouldn't you like to know how to boost your child’s imagination, intelligence (IQ), and capacity to learn? How to place your child on the launch pad of life and watch him/her soar?
Dress your child’s mind for success! Joan Ruddiman reports some intriguing results that “validate what we've always known – in the contest of life and learning, parents are the major influence in getting their kids to the head of the class.”
And they must start early. Three top and very distinct news sources reported on the solid evidence that what happens in the home impacts success in school.
Early-childhood learning activities that researchers say contribute to a child’s success in school are:
- Parents reading to their children several times weekly
- Children visiting a public library
- Children attending preschool (this can be accomplished best at home- with the right method)
- Children watching less than 13 average hours of TV weekly
These are all actions that parents can take with their children long before school age, during that important window
of brain development for reading readiness, ages birth to 5 years.
of brain development for reading readiness, ages birth to 5 years.
Children who do well in school arrived there knowing more than twice the words that struggling students knew when they began school. Successful kids came with "print familiarity," meaning they could follow a page from left to right, top to bottom, and turn the page as the story progressed.
Kids who have grown up with books, visits to the library, and bedtime story hours with mom or dad are able to spring forward and feel confident. Clearly, parents aren’t just their child’s primary caretaker, but are also his most important educators. What occurs in the home- before children ever start school- strongly affects school achievement.
But there's good news: knowledge is power. Parents usually want the very best for their children. After they become informed, parents can ensure their child's academic success by following some simple guidelines. Parents who turn off the TV, read to their children, visit the public library, and sing, talk, and play with their children will raise their intelligence and impact their educational progress.

Some researchers have concluded that it may be easier to teach parents to do the necessary home behaviors early, than to later lift children who've fallen behind.
You, mom and dad, are the key. It's not rocket surgery!
