The cause of education

With a pre-schooler at home, my attention has shifted to the cause of education. Parents are first teachers but social interaction with outside world plays a major role in child's learning. There is a saying in Africa that 'It takes a whole village to raise a Child'. A child learns more by playing with other children (than with the parents) as that provides for 'contextual learning' experiences - learning experiences in a context in which they are interested and motivated in.

How about the parents? How do we learn that will help our children? 

In this blog, I am going to share information gathered from various online resources. I would like if this becomes a collective learning experience which will benefit us all.
