Not just students are getting ready for tests. Parents are also experiencing an uphill battle.It's normal to share some of your child's worries at this busy and frequently stressful time, but how can you help?Here are some ideas to think about that will relieve everyone of pressure.
Check out the website, read mailings, and go to informational evenings. Many people, including you, want your child to succeed to the best of their abilities. There are others with you. However, it's simple to overlook or disregard chances like additional parent-teacher conferences, study sessions, or complimentary materials that are given home.
The regular, yearly parent-teacher conferences take on even more significance because the teachers are familiar with your child's strengths and areas for development in addition to the exams.
Since the moment they were born, you've been trying to get them to eat right, get enough rest, remain active with sports, and have a healthy social life. Some students who are under exam pressure may behave erratically or disregard what is crucial for their health. You are in the best position to spot behavioral changes in your child and to maintain open lines of communication with both your child and, if required, the school.
Even if their older sister or brother performed exceptionally well on their examinations, it's advisable to avoid direct comparison with their siblings. And even though it's challenging to refrain given your own stress levels, persistent nagging and whining can be ineffective and raise both yours and their stress levels. A strong foundation, with clear study schedules, a family calendar, upcoming exam dates, ongoing, honest, and supportive communication, will go a long way.
