As parents, we often hear stories of children who find every excuse to delay homework — but with Yuvam, it was quite the opposite. From as early as Nursery, he had this fascinating habit of rushing home after school, dropping his bag, and sitting down immediately to finish his homework. Before changing, eating, or even relaxing, he wanted his work done — not because he was afraid of it, but because he genuinely enjoyed it.
At first, we were surprised. It wasn’t something we had to push him to do. Over time, we realized this habit wasn’t born out of pressure or routine, but from a sense of excitement and responsibility that his school had instilled in him. The assignments were never “just tasks” for him — they were extensions of what he had learned that day, a chance to explore and express his ideas.
As he moved into higher grades, that same sense of curiosity and commitment only grew stronger. Today, we see how those early school practices — engaging teaching, encouraging feedback, and a nurturing environment — helped shape his love for learning.
Takeaway: Sometimes, a child’s enthusiasm for learning doesn’t start at home but is cultivated in the classroom. When schools make learning meaningful, homework transforms from a burden into a bridge between curiosity and growth.
