For years, I watched my son struggle in school. Every time exam results came out, his name was always at the bottom of the list. As a parent, nothing hurts more than seeing your child lose hope. He would come home quiet, avoid talking about school, and sometimes pretend he was okay — but I knew he was slowly giving up.
At first, I blamed myself. Maybe I was too busy. Maybe I did not support him enough. But later, I realized something important: every child can shine when given the right guidance, love, and support. So, I decided to take action and walk with him step by step until things changed.
The first thing I did was change how I reacted to his poor marks. Instead of shouting or comparing him with other children, I started encouraging him. I told him he was capable. I reminded him that being last today did not mean he would be last forever. Slowly, I saw his confidence coming back.
Next, I created a simple routine at home. We set aside time for reading, homework, and revision. I also talked to his teachers and asked where he needed help most.
