Gelber has written a very serious and sophisticated history of crafts and hobbies in America, along the way readers are treated to a trip down a memory lane, first of collecting--stamps, coins, picture cards, dolls, and so forth--and, then, of hobbies such as embroidery for girls or modeling for boys.
Being a parent comes with a multitude of responsibilities and duties. Of course, you want your children to grow up to be healthy, happy and exceptional adults, but for that to happen your children need to be properly cared for, guided, loved, disciplined, taught and encouraged along the way. From the moment your child is born, it's your responsibility to care for him and keep him healthy.
The Role of Parents. Although a parentâs role in their childrenâs learning evolves as kids grow, one thing remains constant: we are our childrenâs learning models. Our attitudes about education can inspire theirs and show them how to take charge of their own educational journey. Be a role model for learning.In the early years, parents are their childrenâs first teachers â exploring nature, reading together, cooking together, and counting together.onnect what your child learns to everyday life. Make learning part of your childâs everyday experience, especially when it comes out of your childâs natural questions. When you cook together, do measuring math. When you drive in the car, count license plates and talk about the states.
