Parents are always looked upon as guides and mentors by their children. As parents, they carry the responsibility to provide a wonderful life to their children. Education is an integral part of a child’s life and parents tend to take a lot of efforts just to provide their children with the best when it comes to education and learning.

It is equally important for a parent to keep their child motivated in all aspects. Only when a child is motivated and encouraged enough, he or she will gain the strength to face the challenges that they are going to face. Parents can always be their children's’ guiding light to take them in the right direction.

When it comes to education and learning, children face a lot of problems with respect to their emotional and behavioural well being. As parents sometimes we fail to understand our children's’ emotions in the process of making them focus towards their goals that are set by us. Along the process, parents must be bold enough to encourage and motivate their children to fail. 

Most of the parents do not want their children to lose, though this is fine on one side, failures make children stronger when they are guided and counselled practically. Mistakes make a man perfect, is not a simple statement these days. Children can easily go into a shell or their own confined state of fear and anxiety when they are not taught how to handle failures in a positive manner. 

Children are always curious and inquisitive in nature, at the same time, each child is unique in his or her own way. As parents, spend a lot of time with your children, be with them, get into their world and understand how they perceive education. Do not force your goals on them. This will take them nowhere. 

Children expect their parents to be with them in both happy and gloomy times, but most of the parents fail to do this. Try to find out what makes your child happy and what they find interesting in their subjects. Talk to them about their classes, their friends, their school, their teachers, their passion, and so on.

When you talk to your children, you not only learn a lot but you also unlearn a lot. Motivate your children a lot as they seek encouragement and positivity rather than advice and negative thoughts. Be your child’s role model, but at the same time, be their good friend.

Talk to them about the pros and cons of technology, social media, its influence on all of us. Encourage them to take up any sport of their choice and this will keep them hale and healthy. A healthy body and a healthy mind can do real wonders.
