The family is an important part of education and helps to create a safe and nurturing environment for learning and exploring. The younger the children are, the more the family should be present at their school or learning environment to support their child, share their family traditions with other students and help to create a smooth transition into a more independent school life. Cuddling and even rough housing helps younger children find their boundaries and get to know their bodies better. Parents are setting examples that children will imitate with their behavior.
