Instead  of working  3 hours  every  3 or 4 days ,
        working  15-20 minutes  everyday  produces  much
        better results. Naturally , the longer the daily work
        time, the faster the development of the skills.
              essential  that   children    continue    Menar
           It is




        program  with    their own will rather than their




        parents '   force .     At the beginning , children are



        usually  very   excited   and   anxious   to   study    Menar
        and learn  how   to   use   abacus .   It   is   very   natural      if



        their  motivation   decreases     in time . Our centers



        and  teachers   will    do their part to increase the


        children's motivation as needed. However, parents


        also have  a more important role in this respect.
          Considering the fact that their children will build a
        skill  they will use throughout  their academic  and
        professional lives, Parents' cooperation with Menar
        and  their  support  in motivating  their  children  at
        times  when  they show signs of tiredness  of daily
        work  or reluctance  in regular  practice , will  help
        their children perceive Menar training not like any
        ordinary  extracurricular  activity that they can give
        up any time they wish but rather like a life style or
        school with no choice of giving up.
          Parents are strongly recommended to inform the
        teacher  when  their  child  will  miss  classes  for
        health or other important reasons and check if it is
        possible to arrange a make-up session.
          Even  if children  don 't miss  any  classes ,
        parents  might  find  out  that  their  child  is having
        difficulty  in a certain  area. In such cases, parents
        are recommended to inform the teacher about this
        issue  and ask for the teacher 's advice  in solving
        this particular problem.
                       If the  teacher  wants  to arrange
                       an extra  study  session  with  the
                       child, parents are encouraged  to
                       cooperate  with  the teacher  and
                       bring their child to Menar for the
                       extra  session  at the     time  as
                       specified by the teacher.
