Child education is important for successful future. Hence it is natural to feel worried when our children do not perform well in studies. It is even more natural to glare, scold and shout at them.

Don't Attach Negative labels
Do not label your children with degrading titles like: "Stupid," "Lazy," and other negative names which create poor self-image. Firmly believe that your children are capable of achieving anything they really desire.

Identify Your Children's Problem
Children who don't perform well in studies have some problems. These problems can be solved if identified. To identify problems, observe your children closely and ask them questions. Here are examples of some common problems of children:
