1. Shake off the blues and stop the knee jerk attitudes by saying "Its your funeral now. You wasted your whole year. Start studying or end up being a jerk’ Its wise to say ‘Set right, now. Work hard’ Create a closeness and motivate to patch up for the last time. Encourage and stick to discipline. Enforce discipline on ownself too to set an example and arise the seriousness of the last moment preparation.
2. Jump start to be organized and teach the habit of putting things in order. It’s a normal attitude of a mother to look after organizing the day of the child. Arranging from clothes to books and keeping them in order making the child negligent of his own belongings. Help the child to organize and make him listen and take care of his belongings instead of spoon feeding. If the child had taken care of his own books, he would have at least cared to open it on his own too.
3. Homework hassles are the biggest problems throughout the year. Tutors line up to help out the child to study inspite of a teacher at school. All is just revision and cramming of lessons. A memory charging programme with no use of own sixth sense. The child gradually develop inability to cope up. He cannot recognize his own capabilities and potentialities Homework basically becomes hassles and a neglected part which is mostly than followed up by the tutor, parent or even finally not checked by the teacher. So, it’s the need of the hour to motivate for regular lessons with weekly tests rewarding thereby.
4. Make the child know what it means to ‘while away the time’ just for fun. With many activities to pursue, time management is must so as to be with trends. Instead of a parent nagging around the child saying Do this and Do that, its proper to set time frame activities and involving the child to distribute the time evenly for all activities. Study hours should be fix hours during the day.
