Teach them that mothers can end up on HN, just like fathers, and that they might have useful advice on educating kids, too :-)

I'd love to hear it!

For added clarity this isn't to exclude moms of HN. My curiosity was sparked by wondering to what degree dads here were engaged around their kids' education and what had their attention. Please feel free to share regardless of role/gender, I'd love to learn from the whole community!

Mostly I've learned that children tend to prosper despite the efforts of adults. The most productive thing I have done is to talk to my child as if they were another person from before they could talk.

Good luck.

Love this. Something I do with my kids as well. Thanks for sharing!
