I love teaching i am a pre-kindergarten teacher and this is the toughest step because the child is learning from the beginning- and you know what- i think both parents should devote their time into teaching their children because the child learns to grow onto it and with parents to help them- they have fun and look forward to it- so please i advise all parents here - to take sum time help your children- read a book-- play a little singing game anything-- trust me the child will want to do it everyday because your giving then the time they want :) good luck :)
