Parenting Tips
Tip 1: It is important to read to your children at least 15 to 20 minutes a day to develop their: language, imagination, comprehension, and communication. It is a good way to spend quality time with your kids. Children that see their parents reading tend to follow their example by taking an interest in books and acquiring a love for learning.

Tip 2: Nature is an important theme and easy to teach to your children, as simple as going for a walk to the park and observing your surroundings. For example the different types of birds, plants, insects, animals, etc. A good idea is to take photos with your cell phone and later to go to your public library and to find information about each animal or plant that you saw. It is so engaging and the children will be delighted!
