How parents can make the most of children’s formative years

Parents have long believed that the success or failures of people are attributed to their childhood. As such, they exert every effort to nourish their children in the first few years of their lives. As it turns out, doing so should be stretched not only until children are old enough to attend kindergarten but until they reach the age of seven.
