As every Mother and Father knows, the business of being a parent has its happy but serious responsibilities. From the cradle, a child claims food, clothing, shelter and love. But what about education ? Shouldn’t it begin from the cradle, too? A child starts to learn the day he is born. From that moment until the age of six, he’s learning more than he will ever learn in any other period of his lifetime. His first classroom is his home. And his firstand-m o s t-important-teacher is his mother! What can parents do to help a child during these important learning years? Here’s some helpful advice from Playskool Research. First, a child should be encouraged to play creatively. His toys are his tools with which to learn, experiment, and discover. Although we adults may be a 11 r a c t e d to miniature classic autos, dolls in authentic folk costume, or fire engines complete with sirens, these toys have little lasting play value for the child. A child is happier with toys to “make believe" with. The child’s imagination, for instance, will make simple wooden blocks a castle, a service station, a house, a school or a grocery store. Toys which can be taken apart and put back together are fun for the child. They help him develop confidence and a sense of logic. When he finally begins school, he will have faith in his ability to master problems, and that’s winning half the battle of education!
