The best and most overlooked way to improve classroom education of any kind is to introduce the use of boardgames. I have taught for over ten years all over the world, and only when I use boardgames do students voluntarily insist on extending their classes for two, three, even four hours. Not only that but they then show the most rapid improvement. \nCheck out the following websites for some useful background info.\n\nhttp://www.rpg.net/sites/edu/1-1.html...\n\nhttp://www.rpg.net/sites/edu/1-2.html...\n\nhttp://subscriptions.fasfind.com/wwwtool...\n\nhttp://www.gama.org/uploads/ns/xx/nsxx7l...\n\nGive it a try and you will be amazed. At least you will be helping to break the monopoly that the big textbook publishers have over the education industry.

Encourage the imagination!  Play pretend with me, and encourage me to be silly.\n\nWhen my kids were little, we set up the small dome tent in the back yard, and it become, well, everything.  We blasted off to space in it, we explored the jungle using it as a base camp, we had fun in it.\n\nWe played.  Together.

I would start with the basics, counting to 10, recognizing colors and some shapes, etc.  Also how to use crayons and simple things like that.  They will learn the rest.  Also, you may want to make sure the child is okay with sharing, authority figures besides the parents, etc.

A good way to get younger kids to do things is to show them by example. Take them to a college softball game or a good high school game. Tell them to watch the hitters. They will start to mimic the players. Also a good drill to do is to hit volleyballs or basketballs. This forces them to power through the ball. Then when they hit the softball it seems easy. It helps if you deflate the balls a little bit.

designations of toys for the children were counts a lot.anywei, i have been experienced taking good care of kinder ages children and they want many ways in playing their toys.ages 2-5 were too playful,they grab,kick,suck anything,and chew anything.for this to avoid lead them to a safer place and away from unwanted objects.give them a suitable food for them to chew.medicinal toy cud help.For them to develop differences of objects try to tell them the difference between the two object. Ages 6-7,little creature at this age were eager to study more and more,and so buy a toy that suits their vocabulary and mathematical ability.this can help in refining their mental ability.in supermarkets ia lot of toys like this offered. 8-9 ages were starting in revealing their external  and internal behaviour.try to read knowledgeable books with them,and try to explain it to them by their selves,for them to develop analization.and prolem solving. Ages 10-12-emotions and self steem starts.give them time in some spiritual advices to know the diiferences of around us.share with them a game like going out at home somtimes for a change of sorroundings.let them know their likes abt hanging outsite.the rest of the age well..... thanks for letting me read.:)

Instruct your child in the correct path and they will never stray...\n\nI am paraphrasing but the best way for your son to follow you is to be an example for him.  It is going to be hard VERY hard but keep in the path and it will be beneficial.\n\nSee my mom was the type that dragged me out of bed on Sunday and said I had to do this and had to do that.  That didn't work on me.  She then stopped dragging me to church and instead prayed for my salvation.  Then one Sunday I asked if I could go with her to church and during the service went up to the front of the church and accepted Jesus as my Lord and personal savior.  \n\nAs was told to me on that day, that at that moment was the time that God had set up for me to accept his son.  Not one moment sooner.  \n\nUnderstand that prayer and the word keeps not only you but your son aligned with the things of God.  In due time, your faithful seeking of God and asking for him to lead and guide you and your family will prove most beneficial indeed!\n\nI am living proof of what my mom's devotion to God and his son Jesus has done for me.  Now when I go to church I ask my son if he wants to go.  If he says no, it's ok. I kiss him, tell him I love him and off I go because when he goes, he is going because he wants to and his heart, mind and spirit are open and receptive to what God wants him to hear that day.  If going begrudingly, he will slightly resent what is being said.  Over time, that resentment will harden his heart and possibly make him miss out on the best gift ever given to him.  Jesus Christ.\n\nSorry about the long answer.\n\nYOU stay faithful, prayerful and in the word.  God and others will water and cultivate the seeds that will be planted in your son's heart!\n\nGod's blessings to you and yours!

You can do simple things like potato sack races, pin the tail on the donkey, bingo, stuff like that.  Since the kids are so young, they don't need a lot to be entertained and you want to do something that doesn't require a lot of rules/directions.  Besides, you also want stuff they can't cheat easily with!

Unless you are limited with your resources, why not just let them have what they want - there would be sufficient to go round. Once one cild <lol> has grabbed everything in his excitement, they will soon calm down once they start work and then you can share the stuff round or ask them to do it. \n\nIf you're limited, why not dish out the stuff or get them to pick something they want in turn? That way you could see their choices as they go and maybe even asked why they have chosen that/those particular thing(s). Make a nice talking point wouldn't it?\n\nAnd I'm not even a teacher! lol.\n\nGood luck.

That's a tough one. I don't know how you handle discipline in your house but something that has worked for me (I am the primary care taker for my boyfriend's two children who are both from different unions) is using a good marble/bad marble system. I know it sounds kinda corny at first, but, you make a customized fair list of the behaviors that are not acceptable (whining and petty tattling is on our list) and they get a bad marble (btw we have pickle jars labeled good and bad) anytime they exhibit these behaviors and if they get too many (say 5 or more depending on how minor or major they are) they get restricted from a privilege. However, it wouldn't be any fun if they didn't get rewarded when they are behaving so you can make a list or decided on a moment to moment basis if they are being good (sharing, doing things when told, remembering to put a plate in the sink etc.. whatever works for your household) and if they get so many good marbles I let them make a list of a few fun things we can do around the house for 30 minutes, and another short list of things we could do that would cost a little more that we would have to drive to or something like a small toy and I reward them weekly with something fun for being good and helping me out.  You may need to do it as a daily system. I used to use it daily but now that the boy is older and better behaved we only have to use it weekly now. Sometimes children just need a little guidance and to know what the rules are, and to know what is unacceptable and when they can see that their behavior is not good consistently and they are rewarded for being good they will want to change.. especially if you make a big deal out of them being good.  Good Luck... hope this helps or gives you some ideas anyway.

take your kids to an inner city slum or bad area. let them feel how one can end up. if they do not work hard in school to get a good education so they can get a good job and make a nice life for themselves. teach your kids  self reliance. The child has to realize himself that  he needs to get the good grade for himself and not for the parents or teacher. this teaching of self reliance also needs to be applied to all areas of his life. doing chores around the house. never tell him/her you are too small to help cook or do the dishes because he would only get in the way. \nnever invalidate. or treat the child like a child. treat the child as a human being with respect. you get the benefit of not being a slave to your child and when he /she is 18 , they will be ready and able to leave the house. do not tell your kids what to do. but show them how to do it. and they will never rebel. good luck

Lots of practise using lots of different methods. Have it written on all his stuff so he recognises it. Write it on paper with him using pens, textas, crayons, paint etc. Get magnetic letters and practise spelling it out on the fridge. Get pavement chalk and write it on the concrete. Spell it out using alphabet cookies.\nYou can dot out the letters and he/she can trace over them.\nYou could hold his hand and help him form letters and "Skywrite" them.\nJust practise doing it lots of different ways. Make it fun and make it frequent but in short sessions so you don't tire him / her out and you don't make him / her resistant to your attempts.\nYour child has to want to do it or they will not succeed.\nFinally, if it's just not happening maybe he/ she is not ready yet and just give them a little time before you start trying again.

Try to encourage him by setting a good example yourself (reading, becoming sharper in your own skills, etc.); introducing him to the best quality of people you can find as friends; do things with him to develop the kind of relationship where he will listen to what you suggest; ask your son's school and teachers for ideas. Volunteer at your son's school - be around, be available, and be interested in all aspects of his life.

There is such a thing as free will but it's our conscious that prevents us from doing all we want to do.  One’s own conscious is one’s free will.  You will only do what your inner being will allow you to do!

tell your father about this. Let the children do what they want. They will have a bored point which make them stop themselves to do such that things.
