The very thought of preparing for important school exams likely fills the heart of children with anxiety and fear. As the days draw nearer, you will see them getting more and more nervous, anxious, and worried. It stems from the stress in their minds that faring well in these exams will decide their further course of study and future career path. We, at Gurukul the School, believe that as parents, one of the first things that you can do is to stay calm and help them to prepare well for their examination.
We have seen that, at times, parents end up worrying more than the students themselves, and then, that nervousness invariably transfers on to the students and makes them even more apprehensive. We, at Gurukul, believe that being parents, it is one of your prime responsibilities to take the stress away from your kids’ shoulders and make them calm down enough to focus on the task at hand without putting away all their energy in worrying. This is why we always advise the parents never to fret or worry before their kid’s major exams. Instead, they can try out the following tips to really help the children in their preparations for the exams:
Encourage plenty of sleep
Sleep deprivation is one of the biggest issues faced by the children as their exam draws nearer. It is crucial that children take adequate sleep before the exams in order to be more alert and healthy. We, at Gurukul, always ask the parents to pay extra attention to the sleep patterns of kids, particularly during the exam time, and let them have at least six to eight hours of sleep each day.
Try interesting study techniques
The test preparations need to be made as fun as possible for the kids to maintain their interest in the studies. Children have different ways in which they prefer to learn, including social, verbal, visual, and solitary techniques, and as parents, you need to engage them in the ways that they like the most.
