I can comment on "3. How do you provide an optimal environment for your children to learn at any time?"

What we have done correctly is to have loads of books in the house, often maxing out our library card to get the appropriate reading/interest level for our children. My oldest is an avid reader (now 12 yrs old) and a benefit of reading so much is that she is an excellent writer as well. We also have throughout the house art/project materials, electronic components, legos, etc. They will often say "I'm bored", then (getting no response from their parents) engage in some art/project/making activity. When they do get screen time, we try to keep it educational (though video games have started to really draw them in).

Anyway, I'll post back in 20 yrs and let you know what else we got right!
