Parents have the responsibility to ensure a suitable ambience for their children's study at home. The kids' study area must be a personal one and at the same time should not be the extension of their play station. A good sturdy desk, comfortable chair and a clear bright lamp are essential for your child's study area. Always encourage your child to keep the study area in order to start a concentrated study.

Include time for sports or favourite programmes in that timetable. However ask them to strictly adhere to that routine and dedicate their time to studies.

Once your child complain that their thoughts start to wander during the studies, find out what worries their mind. If they are suffering from failure fears and competition pressure; encourage them to dedicate completely to studies that will bring out their best results.

At that time help your child to choose the best of their interests. Give them the confidence that you will be there to welcome them after all their ventures.
