Despite the frustrating years of dragging children out of bed and persuading them to go to school, young children have an internal drive to learn about their world, and become industrious and productive individuals. Their educational eagerness and curiosity can either be stifled or encouraged by parents, teachers and other adults. Aware parents can encourage their children’s development of important life skills. Besides teaching them to read and write, school and home environments teach children cooperation and interdependence. Children also engage in important play rituals (like playing with dolls or cops and robbers) which prepare them for adolescence and adulthood. Supportive parents can promote crucial learning of life skills. Above all, school-age children struggle with feeling of inferiority and incompetence when they compare themselves with their peers.
