Prepare mock- tests to minimise the fear of examination
Students fear exams which is very natural, but it affects the performance of a student in the exam hall one way or the other. One of the ways to get rid of the fear is to keep appearing for exams to normalise the mind from the fear, for which parents can prepare various tests for the students and make them attempt those questions at home and reward them based on their result.
This keeps them in continuous practice of writing and it is also a good method for revision. Also, it helps in minimise the fear of examination and prepare students better for the final exam.
Spend time with students when studying
Some students tend to get distracted easily, for those it helps when they are under supervision. So it is very helpful if the parents sit with them while they study. Ask them random questions from the syllabus and be a little involved.
Even an hour with the students can help them concentrate better without being drawn to any distractions.
The continues practice can also help in giving the parents an idea of how much their child prepared and then they can take necessary measures to help them improve.
Spare time for recreation of the students
Amidst the constant tension and studying it is also very important for the students to have some time to clear their mind and restart studies with a fresh and energised mind.
It is advisable that parents spare the students with time for recreation every 2 hours for continues studying and don’t bother them in their break time and let them do whatever they want to do.
This also helps in maintaining a healthy environment in the house during exams for the students and parents both.
Make them follow a healthy routine
During exams, students tend to mess up with their daily routine which adversely impacts their health. To avoid such situations it is very important that they follow a good diet, eat and sleep properly during the examination.
Parents can prepare them to eat healthy, preferably homemade food.
It is very important to realise that results and board exams are just a part of life and it is okay if you lack a little from your friends in the exams. The world is full of people who were not academically the best but now they are appreciated globally for their exceptional contributions including a genius like Albert Einstein is one of them.
Parents support their children and appreciate them for their unique talent and make them feel proud of whatever scores they have achieves because every student does work hard to prove themselves and make their parents proud.
In the words of Pierre de Coubertin Not to win but to take part is what that matters the most.
