The Family: America's Smallest School

This title says it all, though I'll link to the ETA site that lent me this very basic, powerful idea. The article discusses how early developmental delays the child experience in the home will impact the child for life. Of course. Right now I can think of a child in the kindergarten classroom where I help whom I am fairly certain received little attention during his/her earlier years. Unless s/he suffers from low intellect, it is evident now that much as we try, the teacher and I are making little impact. I so wish we could.
