They need to learn how to live on their own without the help of a parent or guardian. When they turn 18, what do they do? Do they know how to take out the laundry, cook, add gas to the car, ect.? They're going to have to know someday, so why not now? Besides being educated on square roots and zoology and proper paragraph form, kids should learn how to perform tasks that normally only their parents do for them. Eventually kids should be able to take care of their parents when they retire, not the other way around.

Everybody makes mistake. they say practice makes perfect, but then no one is perfect. let it be an adult or a child. the only difference is that parents must be, have to be understanding towards the mistake made by their child. Making mistake and learning from mistake is all part of life. parents don't need to be harsh on children infact they should talk to them freely.Children knows that parent are the first teacher then they should also know that parents are their best freinds and will always be their in their life.

The family has a vital role in the education of the individual. One learns the rules and customs of their society through the family unit. We are told what is "right and wrong", taught how to deal with other people and have our worldview shaped by the people who are closest to us. Since many vital life lessons are learned at a very early age, the family must prepare the individual for integration into the society at large.

Depends on the parent and the child.  I would say that parents have usually lived more years than their kids, so the possibility that they may have learned more does exist - whether they have availed themselves of that possibility is another issue altogether.

My personal philosophy is that ALL children and should be able to learn.  Every child whether born "normal" or disabled enters this world with the sense of learning and curiosity, this needs to be fostered.

If I were to teach Kids for one day, I would teach them Homesty, Manners, and respect.  These are things that are needed to start the building of a educated and well rounded person.\nCarson

Let children learn by experiences. Read to the children about book character's similar experiences. Then ask questions and discuss both the book and the child's experience.

Reading in early childhood actually enhance our cognitive developments.  Also, we learn more vocabularies and sounds of words.  In adulthood, it's really to expand our writing styles and capabilities.

because kids are younger and they've learned less, as we get older we know certain ways to do things and its harder to re-learn to do them new ways than to keep doing them our old way, even if the new one is faster. kids are learning these things for the first time so they pick it up faster because they've got more space to put it and no previous experiences. thats why you must walk grandmothers thru even the easiest web-forms even tho they're designed for idiots. in short: adults dont usually like bothering learning new ways to do old things. besides, they know more stuff anyway, and have their lives in places besides home, who needs the internet?

I think yes and not enough guidance. Its easier to let them run loss and do whatever they want then to teach them right from wrong. They want to be their best friends instead of what their jobs are as parents to raise good adults and give them the skills they need to become one.

Different people learn differently. My daughter does great in a group, it really helps her. One of my grandchildren needs to be alone to learn his lessons. He gets it just from reading, I excel in a lecture class.

In brief (lol) - As children we give equal importance to al the data we receive.\n\nLearning can be from any sense source, but we are slowly 'taught' to learn exclusively with our ears, and we develop a language, despite the fact that 90% of communication is visual - body language.\n\nJust when the child has got over the fact that it has to learn by audio means, we throw it back into confusion, by introducing a written (visual) code, which has to be learned.\n\nThe majority of children will have a nano-cortex (brain) divided into two halves, and store this info from the central mammalian brain (short-term memory).\n\nSleep allows the brain to refresh these memories, and sort out chemical links so we learn to relate certain things to others, and thus learn.\n\nSome children will have breaks in the chemical chains, or have divided their brain before birth into more sections (dyslexia) so they may find the established methods of acquiring data a little difficult at first.\n\nAt about 11 years, the cranium joints in the protective bones of our skull fuse together, and we free to then go on to develop the inside functions. This results in the development of abstract thought.\n\nIt can be simplified to this\n\n1. Unconsciously unaware don't know, and you don't know it.\n2. Consciously unaware, don't know, but you realise that you don't know.\n3. Unconsciously aware. You do know, but have not realised it.\n4. Consciously aware. You know, and you realise this.\n\nAt the end of your life, the chemical links you have built up over a lifetime start to decay, and you find it harder to recall the bits you haven't used for some time.\n\nSome people like Gardiner, theorised that we learn in spirals, building up on the last information, by revisiting it.\n\nBriggs Mayer identified that we like to learn in one of four preferred styles, or combinations of them, and thus learn best when taught in a style that suits us.\n\nLook at teaching books in the library - pedagogic (children), and androgogic (adults)

be willing to learn. I have taught childern as young as 16 months old and people as old at 80. You have to be willing to learn and take the time to practice. If you are not willing to learn and work at it, it is not worth it. Get lessons.

They will learn their morals, values and how to do things the way the teachers are & do in daycare.  They will turn into children you don't even know b/c they are being raised by someone else.
