3. Focusing on the strongest points
None of us is perfect. Children have skills and even talents, but they are not supposed to excel in all things they do. Try and find out what it is your kid is best at and start evolving this skill into his strongest point. Do not let your child forget that other areas are also important. Even if his grades in math are good, it does not mean that he can get the worst scores in literature.

4. Establishing a friendly and open contact with your kid
You and your family members are supposed to be authority. Authority does not mean violence, threatening or punishment. Respect your children’s feelings and do not manipulate them. Do not try to bribe them with tempting promises to buy this or that for good grades and scores at school. You will spoil your kid and he will only become even lazier. Hide your frustration, disappointment and any other sort of negative emotions. Being a friend is far more effective.
