When board exams approach, schools work hard to prepare their students for succeeding in them. Extra classes are held, more assignments are given and mock tests, called 'pre-boards' are held. But what many schools do not attempt is devising mechanisms to de-stress the students, by organising workshops or counselling sessions.
For this task, they need the help of professional counsellors. Such counsellors identify the students who are stressed and help them release the anxiety and fear factor attached with exams. Such students anxiety levels automatically start building up during this part of the year. The system has become so competitive that despite the schools not wanting to burden children with studies, they end up allowing the students to enrol fod coaching classes and tuitions.
Parents can help their children in guiding them, rather than controlling them, and following simple tips. They should ensure a positive environment at home besides helping the child to balance the activities in the day; as too much study is not productive, providing healthy food and snacks during the daytime, and making sure that the child is able to relax during the day, and ensuring proper sleep at night for him/her. Parents need to understand that they also have to sacrifice on outings or parties and be there when their child needs them, stop comparing them with other kids, and avoid statements which create anxieties or fear.
#Parents must understand that exams are just another event in one's life and not a monster or something to be afraid of.
Hope it helps...!!!
