Do you think your child is not motivated enough to study? Does he avoid you as soon as you talk to him about studies? Do you think he is not able to use his full potential? Do you think he lacks concentration? If you have answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, it is time to think WHY? Poor or average performance at school is not due to poor intelligence.
