From a young age, children are encouraged to think that exams are supremely important off late, these exams are becoming quite competitive. In such a situation, when exam stress becomes too much, children tend to crumble. Parents can help children handle exam stress at home and make sure that don’t crumble under the pressure.

AHPS bring before you tips for being the perfect supportive parents during exams.

1. Parents could either help children study actively, by actually helping them with work, or they could just provide them with conducive and calm environment

2. Try and make the favorite food dishes of the children as good food leads to good mood and eventually peace.

3. Don't enjoy in their preparation time: This is the most crucial aspect for parents. While it is just not important for parents to sit literally in and on the heads of their children, but also not indulge in entertainment activities especially watching TV etc. This bugs the child as he/ she feels to be missing on some entertainment while preparing/ studying for exams

4. Motivate and boost up their morale all the time. Motivate and encourage them to study for their own benefit and better their own previously acquired marks in the subject.

5. Ask your child to maintain a separate notebook, in which he/she can jot down all the doubts he/she encounters while studying throughout the day. At the end of the day, sit with them and patiently handle all the doubts.

6. Making a proper time-table is a significant part of one's preparations for the exams.
