experiences or communicated children arrange their education but attitude is not a
trait, it is subject to change depending upon the environment, situation, interaction,

and perception of the object (Kalimuthu, 2018). According to study of S. Kalimuthu,
Parent’s attitude towards the adult and siblings in the family contribute significantly
to various components of the personality of the child particularly in improving his/her

academic performance (Kalimuthu, 2018). Parents teach and train children early in
their entire lives, the fundamental skills, attitudes and values necessary for day-to-

reasonable, which for him involved valuing wisdom above pleasure, honor, and other
less-worthy pursuits. In his dialogue Republic he set out a vision of education in

which different groups of students would receive different sorts of education,
depending on their abilities, interests, and stations in life (Siegel, 2018).

importance of the student’s own interests in determining appropriate educational
activities and ends-in-view; in this respect he is usually seen as a proponent of “child-

centered” education. It’s not being depended on parent's ideas and effect. Education
should improve child knowledge, skills and attitudes as well. The main education
method is knowledge-based education. It follows a structured procedure. Parent's also
guide their children to achieve this limited goal without improving attitude.

Knowledge based education is a learning method which follow structured way

including theories, projects and activities. Tests and examinations use as an
