She recommends parents and grandparents take three steps to help their family move forward in the right direction. Increase Family Time: Quality is not a substitute for quantity. Strive to carve out more interactions with your children, beyond just a few minutes a day. Sitting together for family dinners can have profound benefits.Stay Engaged in Education: Be proactive in understanding your child's curriculum and academic progress. Know what they should be learning at each grade level and work with educators to support their development.Monitor Internet Usage: With our kids spending significant time online, it's crucial to be aware of what they're accessing. Guide their digital experiences to ensure positive influences.For more info on Mel and her books visit her website.
