A teacher's inside advice to parents : how children thrive with leadership, love, laughter, and learning

Ward, Robert 1964- (author.).

Summary: When parents and teachers share common goals and methods to meet a child's essential needs, this wraparound effect flows from home to school and back again. This parenting approach provides insight for connecting with the classroom and influencing your child in four fundamental aspects. Leadership supplies the appropriate guidelines and routines your child requires in order to feel a soothing sense of security, structure, and stability. Love offers the attention, encouragement, and acceptance that create a strong bond of trust and open communication between you and your child. Laughter adds the joy, excitement, and adventure that embolden and assist in your child’s personal exploration of creativity, purpose, and direction. Learning develops and reinforces your child’s knowledge, wisdom, and skills vital for a contributing, self-sufficient life. These Four L's of Parenting directly lead to the cooperation, confidence, contentment, and capabilities parents and teachers both strive to foster in every child.
