What makes a parent a best teacher for his/her own child?

What are some reasons that make a parent a best teacher for his/her child??What makes a parent a best teacher for his/her own child?
Most parents have an ultimate goal of wanting the best for their child, so a normal, loving parent will do everything in their power to love, nurture, and teach that child.





In addition, a parent knows that child better than anyone else-his or her strengths and weaknesses, likes and dislikes, and little quirks. That intimate information makes it easier for the parent to teach the child in a way that will best benefit him or her.





We teach our children to walk, talk and a lot of other really difficult things without a ';professional'; doing it for us.





I chose to keep teaching my children myself, and they are homeschooled. The same reasons I listed above are the reasons that I am my children's best teacher. I may not know everything, but in that situation I would find a resource that could help my child.What makes a parent a best teacher for his/her own child?
That is a question that I think all parents ask? We want to be the best teacher possible for our children. So if your asking what makes a parent the best teacher for their own child, or even how to be the best teacher for their own child, I think the answers are similar. For me, it makes since that naturally the parent is the best teacher for our children. We know them the best, we know what makes them happy sad or motivated. We know when they are having a bad day and just making excuses to not do the work or they just plain don't like the work. To be the best teacher for your child, we must teach by example and never expect them to do something that we would not do ourselves, example (when we say you must always keep your desk area neat, we must then teach them by always keeping our work area neat). We must listen, encourage explain and then have the patience to explain a second, third or even a fourth time. We must be gentle with our expectations and at the same time firm. Above all we must practice unconditional love and reward them for all of their efforts.
Until a child begins school - the parent is the only educator for a child; walking, talking, etc. A parent knows their own child better than anyone else; behavior, etc.


Once a child begins school - the parent must still be involved in their child's education until that same child reaches adulthood and moves out on his/her own.
