The fact, a child begins to learn when he or she was a baby. Child`s education begins at home,  parents as the first teachers. Lessons of love, respect belongingness, kindness, obedience, and faith to God will help a child become worthy and productive citizen.

Parents must show affection that makes the baby feels love and care. A gentle touch, happy gestures and facial expressions develop physical as well as emotional growth of the child.

Children need positive influence of their parents. As the bible says, “Train up a child in a way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it”. They must be trained to obey rules with respect.

Parents should teach their children values and good habits. They need to be taught honesty and respect. Above all, parents should teach their children to be good Christians, to pray and keep hope and faith to God.
