The world has become extremely competitive today and the best scorer in school will always have the advantage but how to convince your kid to study hard is the tough task. Children’s performance in school has more to do with their parent’s strictness than with their brain power or teachers interest of teaching. A recent study reports that parental effect on exam results is five times greater than any other factor. Education is important but some children can really cause pain in the nerve to study what they should be studying. It becomes essential in such a condition to help the child with poor studying interests.
