Ongoing research in child development, neurological science, educational psychology, and related fields continues to inform attitudes and perspectives about how children learn, how educators teach, and how parents can support their children both at home and at school.
There’s no one educational or parenting approach that’s suitable for every child; moreover, in the whole scheme of things, there’s still a lot to learn. There’s an ever-increasing wealth of information as parents seek to increase their understanding of intelligence, educational opportunities, and ways to identify and address their child’s learning needs. Parents have questions and concerns, and these affect their attitudes. They may wonder what to do first, next, and after that, in order to encourage and support their child’s learning.
