It is said that having a child is easy but raising a child is difficult. And this is 101% true.
Taking care of the child's education and training is as important as taking care of his food and other needs. It is the desire and effort of every parent to train their children in the best possible way.
A child's priming starts in the mother's lap. Similarly, his first educational institution is his home. A child's teaching begins at home. A child has already learned many things before going outside.

Home environment
The home environment influences the child in every way. It is the responsibility of parents and other family members to be aware of how the home environment is and what the child is learning from that environment. If the home environment is good, it will have positive effects on the child. Similarly, if the home environment is bad, its effects on the child will also be bad and negative.
Just as we and the things around us together make up the environment. Similarly, all the members of the house together create the atmosphere of the house. Your home reflects your personality.

How should the home environment be?
From the moment a child opens its eyes, it feels the people it finds itself closest to. The first person is his mother, then his father and then the rest of the family. As the child grows up, he unconsciously gets used to his home environment.
If you keep the lights in the house dim, the child will automatically get used to the light not being bright. Therefore, it is important to keep the environment of the house calm, good and positive. Of course, the child is not able to understand everything you say, but such diagrams are formed in their mind that they will understand in the future.
Children are like wet cement, everything that falls on them leaves an indelible impression. Children learn good habits not by what we say but by what we do. It should not be that your words are one thing and your actions are another. It is like you are telling the child that Do as I say, don't do as I do. But the child will do what you will.

Your behavior with the child and its effects
Your attitude towards the child is very important for his mental development. What can be done with love cannot be done with anger or force. How you drill your child is up to you.
There is no specific time for child guidance. As a child grows up, he learns from his observation because the child's mind is a fast learner. If he is not learning something well, he will learn something wrong.
Learning is a child's nature. Similarly, the child learns a lot from your behavior. And this is his grounding which will become his nature and habit. Which is almost impossible to change later.

Children are innocent, their mind is like a blank sheet of paper, they will learn the way we behave with them or in front of them.
By the age of seven, the child has developed a lot. From the age of seven to ten, the child sees the world through your eyes and thinks through your mind.
In his later life he proceeds with the same things. Encouragement from home and parents helps the child in difficult trials of life. Always make your child feel that you are there for him so that he can count on you so that he does not panic if he ever faces a problem outside of school or home. Rather, he should be sure that his parents are with him. It is very important for the positive mental development of the child.
In homes where parents do not pay attention to the education of children, children often get involved in immoral activities. Or become lonely which is very harmful for their mental development. Such children often suffer from an inferiority complex.
It is not enough to take care of children's physical needs, but their mental needs should also be taken into consideration. So that we all can build a healthy society together. A healthy society is based on healthy minds and these children are the future of us and our society.
