Hello Anjum ma'am. I believe the home learning environment is crucial to support the teaching learning process in the class, especially in the early years. Even if parents do not know the specific of the subjects taught in class, parents must provide and caring environent to enable the child complete the homework, help them revise by asking questions, have discussion with them on how their day is going, and also understand their needs and requirements. Its only when the child is emotionally secure at home with she be able to concentrate well in class and the efforts of the teacher will reap maximum results. However, many parents are not aware of their role in the child's continuous development and often blame the teachers if child is not performing well. Hence, parent counselling should focus on the collaboration between teachers and parents.

Children tend to ape their parents and the views that are thrown around the home; this makes it imperative that the use of strong language or derisive views on different ethnic groups or religions be spoken with extreme caution as children tend to imbibe all that their parents say. Therapists advise parents to create positive homes where a neutral attitude is taken toward all individuals and genders so that the upcoming generation would be a more accommodating one.Aside from tending to the daily needs of the child, parents are also responsible for helping their children develop social skills, life skills and appropriate behaviour. Since each child is unique in their personalities, there is no ‘one size fits all’ as far as child-rearing is concerned. This might lead to confusion in parents and make them feel overwhelmed.
