I don't think it should be a matter of pressure so much as a matter of encouragement. In our family, my husband and I have 4 children. They are now 28, 26, 23, and 10 years old. Education has always been very important to our family. We have never required a specific level of achievement regarding their grades, but have always encouraged them to put in their best effort, do their best work, and ask for help with things they find difficult. We have always made going to school, finishing assignments, and doing your best work a high priority for our kids. We keep in close contact with our children's teachers, volunteer at our children's schools, and talk over any concerns before they become issues. Our older 3 children have all graduated high school with honors and have gone on to college level education. We never pressured our kids to get good marks, but we encouraged them to put in their best effort and do their best work. For our older 3, this work ethic has transferred from their school days and is serving them well in their adult lives. We trust our youngest will follow the example set for her by her older siblings as we continue to provide the same level of encouragment with her as we did with them.

Yes and NO. It depends from child to child.
If the child is lazy and lacks interest then there is no harm in putting a little pressure, it may be due to different reasons. It may be very well a problem with your reaching style. You may be skilled, but not necessarily a good teacher. Teaching is deffinetely an Art and not everyone can do it right. The kid needs good basics to get interest in any subject. So if yo think you or your husband are not good teachers, then approach a good tution place.
If he's trying hard and if he's still not scoring good, then it may not be the child's problem. So do not have the capacity, but God had given some kind of talent in everyone. So find out what his talents are and train him on that. You will definitely feel proud of the child one day or the another. That does not mean you can stop him from school. He has to have education, even if he scores less marks.
If you child is 5 years or younger, let it loose until he's 5. The rest of the live is going to be miserable for them, so let them play and spend time with you until 5 years. Buy some story books and read it for them in the night, also make reading some books as a part of your kid's daily routine when he grows up.
Hope this helps.

No. They should stress the need for good penmanship, sentence structure and spelling. If these things were mandatory on application forms and yours was bad then you ain't (oops) aren't getting the job. If you are the parent and not the child then I will say, "Do you want sonny boy living with you the rest of his life, lounging around and sponging off you or do you want him to become a self sufficient man able to live on his own and make his way in the world and be an asset to you and society?" Then I would suggest that you stress that he get not just passing grades but get lots of learning. You can cheat and get good grades but worth while learning he can't fake that. If you are the child and you think that all parents are saps that can be sponged on then you have another think coming. There are parents that will put you out like the bird that pushes the nestling out of the nest. You may think that you will inherent their money but that smart parent may leave you high and financially dry and you would deserve it. If you want it, you best earn it. Not just get a job earn it but if you want what your parents have when they die then be worthy of it and they may leave it to you. Don't forget IT is their money to do with as the see fix or please.

No, As each persons interest varies. He may do well in one subject not all encourage the subject that he likes. All those who do well in School are not always the most successful in life. He may be thee best at sports!!!
But make him well aware that he has to complete the BASIC education that is up to the graduation. Help him be an average student in his academics don't push him beyond that if he is not interested. Expose him to many fields... like take him to the planetary museum etc. And concentrate on him more on becoming a better human being, which will make him face life more easily.

No,not at all If a parent pressurises his/her child. The child will get bored listening to it and stop getting interested in studies.Instead if the parent says you can study when you wish to.Then the child will be relaxed and will do more better in his her exams.
