Read to your child from infanthood. Every night. Get cool picture books with big colorful pictures and few words---I started with Dr Seuss stuff and "Where the Wild Things Are". Just start with three or four books, reading one a night, then a couple a night as the child grows. Read dramatically and fun, and move your fingers under the words. By the time she's three she will be reading to you. Introduce her to the local library and help her pick out cool stuff. Give books for birthdays and Christmas, never too many at a time. Make her look forward to book time before bed each night. Start early so it's all she'll know. Advance the vocabulary as you go. "Stinky Cheese Man" was an early favorite. The bonding will blow your mind.

I used k12.com for homeschooling. Everything you need to do it right. Put your child on your knee and go at it. You will see the lights come on behind her eyes.

In the 8th grade, my kids decided they wanted to be in the band, and since we had recently moved to a top-notch school district, I allowed it. They graduated at the very top of their classes while taking Advanced Placement classes. Free rides at the colleges of their choice...and since I taught them, they are well aware of history, current events, and the liberal sjw atmosphere of the college campuses.

I occasionally still read to them. Mostly horror stuff like HPL and Stephen King now.

A solid base in respect for and faith in The Creator will forge a tight-knit family.

And have many more.
