- Do not nag the child. Be supportive and encouraging.
- Help the child to develop self-discipline, self-direction, self-confidence and a sense of achievement.
- Just good schooling and tuition are not substitutes for emotional cushioning.
- Help the child in maintaining his confidence especially when he seems discouraged by his dropping marks or grades. Do not displace your anxiety on the child.
- The achievement goals should be realistically set according to the child’s capability.
- praise the child when he does well. Encourage the child’s performance with positive statements like, “well done’, “you can do better”, rather than saying “that was not enough”.
