Balance is key in learning


IN today’s competitive education system, parents often wonder whether children should focus on academic results or develop their interests. Strong academic performance can open doors to better education and career opportunities. However, when children focus only on grades, learning may become stressful, and their natural curiosity can fade.

Developing interests, on the other hand, helps children build passion, creativity and confidence. A child who enjoys learning is more likely to stay motivated and grow over time.
