March Extra Blog: New Answers

After reviewing my questions I realized that they were all different versions of the same thing so I decided to do some extra research and change my answers. After doing the research I have changed by answers to the following.

1. A parent can best help their child exceed cognitively by placing them in a standard preschool on a part time or full time basis.


2. By establishing a healthy emotional attachment with their child a parent can best ensure that they feel secure enough to expand themselves in a way that benefits them cognitively.

3. When a parent sets clear boundaries and reachable goals for their child they will give them the skills and confidence they need to succeed.

Blog 13: Third Answer

  • EQ 
How can a parent best give their 3-5 year old a strong cognitive foundation?

  • Answer #3 (Write in a complete sentence like a thesis statement)
         A parent can best help their child by enrolling them in an accredited daycare full time.
  • 3 details to support the answer (a detail is a fact and an example)
         The teacher I interviewed gave me valuable insight into how important being in school           is. Millions of children are in full time daycare every day. Children who are enrolled in 
          a daycare have higher test scores and know how to behave in a class room 
          environment.

February Blog

February I started diving more into depth with my answers. The interview I did with Ms.Diana one of the teachers at my daycare really gave me lots of insight into how good daycare can be for children. The other alternatives are few and far between. In today's society with moms constantly working full time jobs to support their families its hard for anyone to be able to accomplish staying at home and giving a child the attention necessary in order for staying at home to actually be helpful.
