My daughter the one who lives nearby is raising her children to be very much aware. We went on a nature walk on Monday I'm learning so much from her.

I only have one child. But I am learning that there is a lot to being a parent that you did not expect.

Children don't just play any more - they're far too busy learning to fence and taking extra French classes. In the end you're actually doing more damage to your children by trying to hot-house them. It's far better to remain a calm parent.

I think there's so much negative influence on children in school settings. It becomes learning by rote to pass a test. It's not contextualized.

What makes this story so remarkable is that throughout my early childhood I had ongoing learning difficulties particularly in mathematics. I struggled to learn the multiplication table and no matter how hard I tried I simply couldn't remember 6 times 7 or 7 times 8.

I learned a lot from my Mom. My favorite lesson: remember there is no such thing as a certain way to parent and to remember that you are learning along with your child - it's ok to make mistakes.

Home schooled children frequently combine for many purposes - and they interact well. The growth of the home schooling movement means that more and more children are learning together just not in a traditional classroom.

We're all like children. We may think we grow up but to me being grown up is death stopping thinking trying to find out things going on learning.

Quality afterschool programs provide safe engaging and fun learning experiences to help children and youth develop their social emotional physical cultural and academic skills.

Children themselves know they are being cheated. Ultimately we owe it to our children. They are in school for 190 days a year. Every moment they spend learning is precious. If a year goes by and they are not being stretched and excited that blights their life.

Lie detection is like language there is a learning window. Telling whoppers to small children seems to be a family tradition in many families.

So for example if a child is labeled as having a learning disability it has very concrete consequences for the kinds of services and potentially accommodations that child will get.

My mom had this romantic notion of her children playing classical music. The idea is you learn it when you're still learning language. It's using the same part of the brain.

I get stubborn and dig in when people tell me I can't do something and I think I can. It goes back to my childhood when I had problems in school because I have a learning disability.

Emotional 'literacy' implies an expanded responsibility for schools in helping to socialize children. This daunting task requires two major changes: that teachers go beyond their traditional mission and that people in the community become more involved with schools as both active participants in children's learning and as individual mentors.

Are your kids learning the right lessons about 9/11? Ten years after Osama bin Laden's henchmen murdered thousands of innocents on American soil too many children have been spoon-fed the thin gruel of progressive political correctness over the stiff antidote of truth.

If people are made to feel uncomfortable in the kitchen they won't go in there. That's why I think children learning to cook can be such a wonderful thing.

No Child Left Behind's fourth-grade gains aren't learning gains they're testing gains. That's why they don't last. The law is a distraction from things that really count.

All the time a person is a child he is both a child and learning to be a parent. After he becomes a parent he becomes predominantly a parent reliving childhood.

That's what we need nowadays is more children that have goals other than being a sports figure or some kind of celebrity. I think it's great that a kid wants to learn more and wants to be at the peak of learning especially at that young.

Learning a foreign language and the culture that goes with it is one of the most useful things we can do to broaden the empathy and imaginative sympathy and cultural outlook of children.

A child's learning is a function more of the characteristics of his classmates than those of the teacher.

I always found the extraordinary loss of life in the First World War very moving. I remember learning about it as a very young child as an eight- or nine-year-old asking my teachers what poppies were for. Every year the teachers would suddenly wear these red paper flowers in their lapels and I would say 'What does that mean?'

What makes a child gifted and talented may not always be good grades in school but a different way of looking at the world and learning.
