It is virtually impossible to overestimate the importance of education, no matter at what age. When we are older we have a far greater understanding of its importance, but when we are younger and at school, so much of it just seems to be a chore and something that gets in the way of playing sport, playing on our Xbox or updating our multiple social media profiles. Parental nagging with “Have you done your homework yet?” never really helps, so how do you perhaps instill a little bit of parental wisdom and make your child aware they have achieved something special during their education early on?

The answer is to award them a Certificate of Scholarship. Doubtless they will ask you what scholarship means, and that’s your opportunity to tell them that scholarship is all working really hard at your studies and doing your best to learn, as opposed to just turning up for class and having a good attendance record. There’s no end to the number of certificates you award them and you can perhaps provide an incentive (more commonly known as a bribe) in that if, or when they are awarded ten certificates, you will buy them something that they really want and have made no attempt to hide the fact!
