Parents share tips on how to manage stress during exams #IndiaNEWS #National ,IANS Life
By IANSlifeNew Delhi, Feb 19 (IANSlife) Since it is exam season, thousands of kids and their parents are experiencing sleepless evenings as they worry and stress about tests and results. Anxiety, stress, and tension work as barriers, affecting concentration and performance during the exams.
Even for the most intelligent pupils, fear and anxiety frequently manifest as physical and psychological symptoms that make learning more challenging. The pressure of the exam is genuine! Additionally, worry and anxiety, if not treated in a timely manner, can actually result in issues that persist long after exam season.
While students are now vocal about these stress inducers and the overall exam pressure, not every student is comfortable talking about it. Parents play a critical role here both for the vocal as well as the quiet sufferers. From ensuring access to therapists and counselors who can address the mental health concerns of their children to simply taking the time to talk to their children and help them align expectations, parents are integral to a childs stress management journey.
Often the fear begins at home, thus making it essential for parents to communicate with children and assure them that just results alone do not in any way determine their capabilities to abilities to succeed in the future. It is essential to acknowledge a childs strengths and unique abilities and play them up, in order to build inner confidence and conviction. A parent is a childs first validation, which goes a long way in shaping his or her attitude toward life.
Here are some tips shared by experienced parents on ways to reduce stress among children:
Rajnee Sinha, mother of a 14-year-old girl who works at a leading IT firm said, I used to be worried about my childs grades and enforced strict study hours. Even after hours spent with his books, he was not scoring well. That was when I thought that I might be following the wrong approach. I was searching on the internet when I found @getsetparentwithpallavi , an amazing page on parenting. Dr. Pallavi Rao Chaturvedi is Indias leading Parenting Coach, Educationist, Entrepreneur and Founder of Indias fastest-growing Parenting resource organization-Get Set Parent with Pallavi. The page instantly became my parenting bible. Dr. Pallavi says that while every parent wants better grades for their children, it is important for them to understand that the children are often equally anxious and stressed about their exams and results. So, as a parent, l now try to create a more supportive and empowering studying environment that is engaging rather than daunting. I allow my child to participate in the decision-making by allowing him to create his own timetable.
