son or daughter.

However, what most parents fail to see is that the best early education they can give their

children is usually very cheap.

Parents can see that their children s skills are different, maybe skilled in some areas while

poor in others. What most parents fail to realize though, is that today s children are in need of

self-respect and self-confidence.

The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take tests and how to

study well, but parents are not teaching them the most important skills they need to be confident,

happy and clever.

Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing other

housework.

Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life.

Cooking requires patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook

always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job

successfully. His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of

self-confidence.

Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with

will make him curious （好奇的） and have interest. He will spend hours looking at them, trying

to fix them; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. These activities are not only

teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind. And that is more important.
