How to develop thinking and learning skills in kids?

Every other beautiful monument, every structured building has one thing in common – A strong foundation or base, as you like to call it.

Tips to motivate children to learn

Studies have always been one of the foremost concerns of every parent. Over time, things have evolved and changed, but this still remains one of the sensitive issues for any parent.  Speaking earnestly, this should be a concern.
