How to prepare your children for Exams

5 TIPS FOR THE PARENTS OF BOARD EXAM APPEARING STUDENTS

If a child is going to appear at the BOARD Exams, his/her parents can also feel the pressure. Parents have to play a double role while guiding the children and taking care of their health.

Your Children Need You

Let’s point out what points should be taken care of while encouraging the examinees.

It is a fact that the condition or, you can say the environment of the house remains changed during when children enter into class 12 till they appear at the Board Exams. On the one hand students spend most of the time in the preparation of the exams while parents make their presence felt by providing special help and encouragement. Each and every little help from the parents can bring a difference in the overall performance of the children.
Besides the help of the parents, a well planned routine and nutritious food is of great importance.
I’m going to share some such suggestions with the parents of Board appearing students which will provide the students courage, strength and enthusiasm to perform well in the exams.

NEVER COMPARE YOUR CHILDREN WITH OTHERS
Parents will have to understand that exam is not the end of life and career. Sometimes we’ve to believe our children and have faith on them. If you speak or advise too much, they’ll stop listening to you.
So, it’ll be better if you do not compare your child’s marks with that of other children. Instead you should relax and have faith on him/her.

DON’T ASK TO STOP GROUP STUDY
Sometimes it may seem to you that your child is wasting his/her time during group study and that is why you may ask him/her to stop group study. But this step is not always right.
Till now you must have understood the friend circle of your child. Therefore, if you don’t have any objection to his/her friends, let them go for group study two or three times a week.
It is a matter of fact that often students understand and solve their problems better with the help of their friends than teachers. Some ideal parents say that students may or may not understand something when the teacher is giving him the lesson and even they may totally miss the concept. In that case, group study is very helpful to them in which they understand their friends’ concept better.

ALWAYS HAVE DINNER TOGETHER
Students are complaining about ‘lack of time’ because of the increasing trend of coaching. Students have to go to coaching after school, and when they reach home, rest members of the family have gone to sleep after dinner.
In such a situation, they can neither share their problems with others, nor do they get the support of the family that could reduce the pressure of study and exams.
So, most ideal parents suggest that parents should bring a little change in their routine. At least have dinner together. It gives them a positive energy.

FORGET WHAT IS PAST
Parents must take care of one most important thing during exams that when your child returns after giving a paper, you must once ask about the paper. If the paper did not go well, forget that and don’t repeat that again and again. Instead of that it’ll be better if you talk about the next paper. If you discuss the same paper again and again, the student may perform poor in the next paper also.

NO TV, BUT INTERNET IS OKAY
The volume of TV should be low, because it diverts the students most. But don’t get the internet connection cut. When the children are using internet watch what they’re doing. Parents can learn many things for their children’s welfare and betterment. And you can download important papers for your child.
