How well children will learn and develop and
how well they will do in school depends on a number of things,
including their health and physical well-being, social and emotional
preparation, and language skills and general knowledge of the world.
This booklet highlights techniques parents can use to encourage their
children to develop the skills necessary for success in school and life
by focusing on activities that make learning fun. (August 2002)U.S. Department of Education

Just as children must be taught to read and
write, solve math problems, and understand science concepts and events
in history, so must they be guided in developing the qualities of
character that are valued by their families and by the communities in
which they live. This booklet provides information about the values and
skills that make up character and good citizenship and what you can do
to help your child develop strong character. It suggests activities
that you and your school-aged children can do to put those values to
work in your daily lives and tips for working with teachers and schools
to ensure that you act together to promote the basic values that you
want your child to learn and use. (March 2003)
