ʽʽ Train up a child, in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it,’’ the Bible said.  As the saying goes, learning and education begins at home. The first teacher of a child is his parents. The parents are the first molder of their character and attitude which are very important in building up a child. The attitude towards learning and education that children should grow up in solid attitude can learn and succeed in just about everything   because right attitude can more than make up for a lack of brilliance.

            To these, parents should give special attention to the attitude the children exhibit while learning the basics education. They should have a great interest in personality building and character formation of their children. And most importantly, they should put their attention to their early childhood education because the best preparation to a solid mature adulthood lies on a strong foundation of relevant childhood years. In Addition, the truth is, most of what entered in our young minds stayed there and form foundation of our character and personality.

            The teachers in schools are considered the second parents of the children that help in building the attitude and character of their students. Teachers and parents are working together in molding these children towards the realization of their dreams.  They are also partners in building up of children’s characters and attitudes towards achieving their goals.  These children molded by their hands can assure us of getting better learning and education because they have the good foundation and right attitude towards achieving for a  higher level of  education.
