Feedback
A The child's ability to sit still is important to learning; however, parental
responsiveness and involvement are more important factors.
B Learned helplessness is the result of a child feeling that he or she has no effect
on the environment and that his or her actions do not matter. Parents who are
actively involved in a supportive learning environment will demonstrate a more
positive approach to learning.
C Interactions between the parent and child are an important factor in the
development of academic competence. Parental encouragement and support
maximize a child's potential.
D Preschool and daycare programs can supplement the developmental
opportunities provided by parents at home, but they are not critical in preparing a
child for entering kindergarten.
