Do you want to raise a kid to become the next Albert Einstein or Thomas Edison? I guess every parent would like their kid to be smart enough to be able to survive in this world we live in and hopefully, make a name for themselves, right? Who doesn’t?
A young child’s home environment plays a key role in the early, formative years of a child’s life. Having supportive, loving, and involved parents can help a child reach his or her intellectual potential. Thus, a parent’s role is important during the first few years of a child’s life.
