My husband paid a visit to his client. Since I have met her before, I tagged along. Her elder child, a Grade Four girl, was sitting in the lounge doing her homework
Barely three feet away was her younger brother watching ‘The Terminator’. The amazing part was she did not even look up once during the half hour we were there.
When the girl went into the kitchen, I asked a few questions. From what the mother said, I gathered they attended the primary school nearby. Mum sat with them at least for two years nightly to do homework. The girl didn’t need tutoring but mum sends the boy for extra classes.
What determines a child’s ability to concentrate? Training? Food? Heredity? Intelligence?
One thing this girl has in her favor is: her mum, who is a Divisional Manager in a Fortune 500 company, views her as important enough to spend two to three hours on every school night to make sure she builds a good foundation.
