It is a very pity matter that many parents pressurize their child to study the whole day but do they ever imagine that forcing them to study will not help them to understand anything in their copies and books unless they have the capacity to comprehend them ? It doesn’t matter how much time a child study a day because in the end they don't get their scores in scholastics by studying 2 hours more than their regular study schedule but by the amount of knowledge they can capture from their books in that amount of time. What’s the use of keeping a child in front of his/her books and notebooks for hours and hours if he/she is not at all having any improvement in their studies? They expect full support and patience from their parents as they are trying as hard as they can. If we apply force on a weak twig it breaks, similarly forcing a child (especially those with learning disabilities) to study all the time will not make the situation any better. They need time to prove themselves. Most parents of weak students keep saying that "My child is not trying hard, he keeps diverting his mind from studies. He chooses not to do hard work and is not motivated. If he concentrates more in studies then he will be among the top students". They keep blaming the child but never try to find out that what could be reason for that child to avoid studies. They don't want to understand that their child may be suffering from learning disorders. A child suffering from such disorders cannot try harder, pay closer attention or improve motivation on their own because learning disorders are caused by a difference in the brain that affects how information is received, processed or communicated. They are not able to understand what's written in their school books because they understand things in a different way.

The point my friend Banashree has pointed out is very important.No one including parents should pressurize their children to study.If the child wants to study,he/she will study by themselves and if they are not willing to study then pressuring them is of no use,it only effects the child badly,it may sometimes make them depressed,weak and mentally not fit.Every child is special in their own way.They may not be interested in studies but may be very good in other non scholastic fields like art,games,music or anything. Whatever the field the child likes,parents and everyone else should encourage him/her to get better in that field.
We all must remember that every child is special in their own way and each of them is different form others.
Parents think "the more you will study the more marks you will get" but the reason is that if a jar has a capacity of 5 liters then even god can not accommodate 6 liters in that jar.
