As a parent you can:

• * Play with your child and develop the interest and confidence in the game.
• * Be a mentor and motivate your child by narrating inspiring stories and events.
• * Purchase chess material for individual practice at home.
• * Prevent your child from racing towards victory through shortcuts and instead encourage him/her to earn it through hard work and commitment.
• * Teach them the importance of individual practice at home.
• * Help your child handle expected and unexpected results in a balanced way.

Chess is a sport, so winning and losing is completely normal and part of the game. 

Very important! A good trainer can motivate the child in the right way, teach the essentials of the game, set the right attitude, kindle the interest in learning and working individually at home. The trainer should incline your child to move towards learning so that victories come automatically but not the other way round.
