7 Pillars of a Quality Education: Part Five

This is part five of a 7 part blog post series, taken from Joyce Burges’s book, “Teach Me How To Teach My Child”, available on Amazon.

Teach Your Children That Learning Is an Atmosphere

Each family should find the quiet center of their life. 

Our family wanted a life that was simpler, more purposeful…and sometimes private.  I love learning.  My husband is an artist and has a great mechanical mind.  He is perhaps, in my humble opinion, one of the most eloquent speakers that I know.  I love reading, music, language, writing, and singing.  The affectionate focus of the family should be its loving atmosphere and its joy to keep learning alive. 

Children should learn proper skills useful for everyday life.  The cultivation of beautiful, practical learning is an art.  One of the treasures in our family life is reading good books…books that create in your mind an endless sea of words to stimulate your imagination.  

Fill your home with books and good music.  Create a place or a corner in your home that is comfortable for reading.  Learning should be adventurous and your children should get the most out of their lives as they delight in this pleasure.
