achievements of child are partly due to genetic factors like intelligence and partly by the nurturance at home.
The way the child is treated at home influences his motivation and interests, not only before he starts going to school but throughout school life.

Home and Education The mother is the first teacher of the child and home is the primary informal educational institution. Childhood or infancy is the most impressionable age, just like a clean slate on which anything can be written. If negative impressions are provided to the child at home, it would be very difficult to remove these during the years of schooling of the child. If the child is reared in an open, affectionate and free environment with due care and attention, later development of the child would be healthy. Home, therefore, plays the most significant role in laying the foundation of a child's personality.
In today's complex society and the family have the greatest influence on growth and development of child's personality. His attitudes and values are dependent on how he is nurtured by parents. The child's intellectual abilities, aspiration and commitments are first acquired in the family. For proper development of child it is of paramount importance that parents are accordingly educated. A good parent may be one who understands and accepts the growing child with his needs and aspirations. He provides due freedom to child and avoids imposition of his views and attitudes on him. A good parent has a caring but never possessive attitude towards the child. They believe in autonomous growth of the child. This blossoms child's personality
