| Education, is a process in which a person obtains information, knowledge, or technique from one who already possesses it. This is best done when the student participates in, and the tutor guides the process. The student should be prepared to think on his or her own. In other words, the tutor must teach the student how to think, not what to think. In this way, the student can develop skills for solving problems when the solution does not readily present itself.  So what is a parent to do? In a word, get involved. In another word, get them involved. Children will learn nothing unless they participate in the lesson. The more of their senses that they can involve — sight, taste, smell, touch, hearing, instinct — the better.  There are times to just watch, and times to participate.
