DON’T MAKE YOUR CHILD’S EXAM DAYS MORE STRESSFUL AND SCARIER THAN IT ALREADY IS. IT HELPS A CHILD WRITE BETTER WHEN PARENTS UNDERSTAND WHAT IT MEANS TO WRITE AN EXAM!
This is the time each of us must give much love, warmth and care to our students. This is the time for parents to refrain from making your children sad or angry, stressed or sorrowful. Your child is already feeling stressed, doubtful and somewhat scared with examination before them. This is going to be test of patience and grit for two weeks for these children, and you know some are delicate at their hearts.
Tests and exams are stressful moments. You have felt the sour fear yourself when you had to face tests at school, interviews and IELTS and a minute of a podium!
Children are going to face for 5 days to two weeks. This is they one time in a year you must refrain from yelling at them, blaming them, scaring them, ignoring them. This days they must be cared for, keeping them happy, guiding and advising them with warmth of words. Ask them to sleep on time with gentle words, wake them with with a smile and love. Eat with them, talk with them. Perhaps cut a cake in between to celebrate half a exam days!
If they appear glum after day’s exam, cheer them up. Tell them what’s gone is not important, what’s coming must not also be wasted. Tell them, examination questions are from their classroom learning, not out of the blue, that it’s only their minds feeding on assumptions. Tell them, he who goes to war must stand with courage and pride. And many wars won are those by courageous few who braced thousand enemies!
When your child succeeds you take the share of joy, if they fail, there surely is somewhere to blame you too. It is because you either didn’t guide them well before or failed in your parenting. Doing well in exam is not a singular effort of a child, a day’s advice and a luck. Good results are signs of good family and years of guidance, love and sacrifices from parents too!
Excellent piece sir 👏👏👏
