But before that let us discuss the role of parents:
• Schedule a time-table for your child, emphasizing on daily working activities for them so that they know how to 
productively utilize their time.
• Provide them healthy and positive environment as the news all around is depressing.
• Help them in coping up with their basics like improving their grammar and vocabulary, handwriting practice, 
mental mathematics etc.

and mentor them.
