The Importance of Your Involvement In Your Child's Hobbies and School.

It is probably no surprise for you to hear that children who have parents that are involved in their activities are happier, healthier and are well-adjusted little beings. Generally they excel at their extra-curricular pursuits and from an educational point of view it has a direct positive influence on their overall academic achievement as it can also increase their cognitive development and keeps them motivated. Certainly one of the  major benefits is that this strengthens the parent-child relationship. In turn: it can help parents achieve a positive outlook on their parenting, increase their own self-confidence and self-esteem.

Does The Education System Kill Creativity?

Have a look at this fantastic You Tube clip from Sir Ken Robinson about the Education system. It really makes you think.......




I especially love these messages he is trying to get accross:
"Creativity is as important as Literacy! We get educated out of creativity"
"If you are not prepared to be wrong, you never come up  with anything original, we are taught that making mistakes is wrong"
"Our job is to help children make something of the future"

What do you think?? Enjoy it and leave you comments below :)
