There's very little most parents know about parenting and many care less about finding out.

The foundation of successful learning for children at school rests more in the hands of their parents than with the schools they attend.

The dynamics of learning for a child is much more than giving them delicious snacks and rushing them off to school and expecting good grades at the end of the term.

There are so many intangibles that parents need to know and ensure their wards do have access to them. If we focus on these Intangibles, we will make learning easier and exciting for our children and reduce the unnecessary faults we push to their teachers and schools.

What are some of these intangibles? You may be asking. Follow my explanation below

The training of a child rises and falls on love; the abundance of it or the lack of it.

This love should not be misconstrued to mean the normal provisions that the parents owe their children like paying school fees, feeding, clothing, outings, etc, for all these are the bare necessities of a child. Most parents stop here.

The weightier love and the intangible but the most important of them all—the emotional needs of our children, are often unknown, underestimated or simply ignored.

A warm and sincere hug every morning as the child leaves for school can improve a child's learning in more ways than any parent can possibly imagine.

Intentionally saying positive and empowering words to the child at every opportunity could do more in helping the child's esteem and in building the child's confidence as it is a much needed ingredient for improving a child's ability to learn.

Identifying your child's love language and focusing on speaking that language with the mixture of the remaining love languages here and there is the climax of these intangibles.

When a child grows in an environment of love, she flourishes naturally whether academically, or socially.

These are but a few of the many intangibles that parents have missed out on that the school cannot compensate for.
