But sadly, some parents in the UK and from around the world may unknowingly jeopardise their children’s grades and subsequently professional success in the long run as they fail to include from an early age and throughout the academic year positive extracurricular activities, as well as a peaceful environment at home, on the University campus and body hygiene.

Good A Level grades are crucial if you want to go to university and land a gratifying career but balancing work in a peaceful environment at home, as well as body hygiene, and extra extracurricular activities, have become a common concern as many smart students are missing opportunities to enhance their grades and later secure a career.
There is a common misconception of some extracurricular activities such as athletics, horse riding, tennis, golf, piano and dance, playing chess, theatre, travelling, going to the zoo, painting, martial arts, swimming, singing as being snobbish, a distraction or costly.
But each of the aforementioned extracurricular activities taken individually inextricably contribute to the cognitive skills, intellectual, physical and emotional development of children , high school and university students throughout their academic life, thus promoting employment success and social etiquette as a whole.
Every worthy achievement comes with a price. Nothing is done at random, everything is done on purpose. Nothing beautiful or great has been achieved overnight. To cut it short, there are no shortcuts to long term success.
But sadly, some parents in the UK and from around the world may unknowingly jeopardise their children’s grades and subsequently professional success in the long run as they fail to include from an early age and throughout the academic year positive extracurricular activities.

Parents who are supposed to represent their children’s emotional rock must avoid
domestic disputes in front of their children. To be more explicit, saying to each other in front of children how your marriage is a mistake and how your children’s existence is also a mistake is the type of faux pas parents MUST avoid.
Children are different. Some are mature enough to understand that when people argue, in general including their parents, they often say ugly things to each other. But other children less mature are less resilient and occasional or frequent domestics involving verbal and or physical violence will ruin their confidence, their level of concentration and subsequently their academic performance.
