parents must play a major role in making their kids to study.teachers cannot teach every student individually because she has to take care of almost 50 students in a class. He we send our kids to tuition,there also our kids will not get individual attention. So many average students struggle to study and get good marks. So it is a responsibility of an educated parents to help their kids in overcoming study difficulties. They should know what has taken daily in the class and they should know about their performance of their kids in class. It is their responsibility to make their kids to involve in some extra curricular activities which refresh kids minds and they should attend parents teaches meeting without fail to know about their discipline of their kids in class.

Stay involved in your child's education. Set aside a place and time everyday for school work. Keep informed about what your child is learning and help them learn the material. if there is no homework, there are still activities you can do to help your child. Read with them. If they are older have them summarize the story for you, or give their opinion on the actions of one of the character. There are tons of math worksheets on line. You can print or copy problems similar to what the child is doing in the classroom.
Teach your child your expectations for behavior and work ethics. Have consequences for not meeting those expectations, and rewards for meeting them.
