Parents to note!

As children develop from infants to teens to adults, they go through a series of developmental stages that are important to all aspects of their personhood including physical, intellectual, emotional and social.
The proper role of the parent is to provide encouragement, support and access to activities that enable the child to master key developmental tasks and this is more true if you want your kid to be an actor.

A parent is their child’s first teacher and should remain their best teacher throughout life. Functioning as a coach, the parent exposes a child to age appropriate challenges to encourage development as well as to experiences that allows the child to explore on their own and learn from interacting with their environment.
