The rhythm and dynamics established at home strongly influence the classroom, says education specialist Laura Lewin. For children, adequate sleep, being able to access balanced nutrition, and having emotional and academic support are aspects that “play a critical role” in their school life and learning.
Children should feel like protagonists of their learning process, Lewin says. “Involving children in the process helps them feel of the process and encourages their independence,” she says. The specialist advises that families should guide them, but also give them space.
