Families that maintain the habit of studying with their children always have a very unique "light". Children feel the support of their parents, while adults slow down, giving their children the full attention that modern life is easy to steal.
A study by Harvard University (USA) in 2021 shows that children growing up in an active learning environment at home have a 30% higher self-study ability - an un surprising number if we understand the spirit of family education in the East: parents study first, children follow. The style, modesty and openness of adults become lights to light the way for children.
Meanwhile, in modern society, many shelters are falling into a state of "being together in their own home". Father surfs the internet, mother watches movies, children deal with the play themselves in the silence of a child who has to grow up early.
A teacher shared that when I called to discuss, the familiar answer was: "You help me, I study by myself at night". When parents leave their children's school life, the house - which was the first school - becomes cold and lacking in dialogue. Children not only lack knowledge support, but more importantly, lack a spiritual support.
Therefore, studying with children is not just about solving homework. That is how parents build family culture. A home that knows how to talk, listen, and respect differences is a home that knows how to learn from each other.
Children grow up in that environment with the calmness of knowledge, the softness of love and the maturity of those who are used to dialogue. Those are more important than scores, more sustainable than any achievement.
When the family becomes a true learning ecosystem, the school also enjoys sweet fruits. Children raised in an environment with healthy communication, empathy and knowing how to regulate emotions will have less unresolved damage or bottlenecks.
That has significantly reduced - even eliminated - school violence. A child who is loved and understood does not need to affirm himself with a fist. They know how to speak when sad, know how to apologize when wrong, know how to stop when conflict arises. These skills are not in any book, but are absorbed through every meal, every story and the evenings when parents sit next to their children in the gentle table light.
Education therefore does not only take place in classrooms. Many times it starts from a small table by the window, where children are busy writing every first letter of life, and parents are quietly writing to their children's souls something that they will soon understand: knowledge grows most beautifully when there is love for the land, there is companionship for the country, there is dialogue for light.
When the family becomes an learning ecosystem, the child not only studies well. They grew up more gentle, more profound and stronger from within. And that is the most beautiful gift that parents can give their children - a gift that will never go away over time.
