4. PARENTAL CONCERNS My child is intelligent but not willing to studies
No desire – have to push
Not interested in studies at all
If I am around, then the child studies, if not then does not study
Forgets during exams

5. KNOW YOUR CHILD’S ENTIRE EXAMINATION TIMETABLE
Pin the timetable on your kitchen notice board
Note the time and date fir each paper

6. HOW TO HELP YOUR CHILD WITH REVISION
Work out a revision timetable for each subject.
Break revision time into small chunks.
Make sure your child has all essential books and materials.
Buy new stationary, highlighters and pen to make revision more interesting.

7. PROVIDING ALL ROUND SUPPORT
Make home life as calm and pleasant as possible
Try to be at home and available as much as possible
Give time each day to sit and chat with your child
Make sure the child joins in family meals even if there is a very important exam next day
Do not nag and make too many demands on your child

8. PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
Make sure your child takes at least half an hour of walk every day
Exercise good to refresh the mind

9. LISTEN TO THEIR EACH DAY’S STORY – AND MOVE ON.
With a calm mind listen to how their paper went
What’s done is done
Help them to focus on their next examination

10. MAKE A CHECKLIST OF DAILY REQUIREMENT, BASED ON EACH DAY’S PAPER
A final check each morning for ruler, pen, pencil, erasers etc

11. HELP THEM TO MAINTAIN A BALANCED DAILY ROUTINE
Proper balance between study and rest.
Should rest for sometime before starting to study for the next exam.
Should even have a little time to relax

12. A GOOD NIGHT’S SLEEP ALWAYS IMPROVES EXAMINATION PERFORMANCE

13. YOU ARE, WHAT YOU EAT.
Incorporate a balanced diet into your child’s menu.
Avoid all kinds of junk food.
Make sure they drink a lot of fluids.
Fruits and salads, are always a yes yes..

14. DON’T HYPE THE IMPORTANCE OF ANY ONE SUBJECT.
DON’T OVERLY STRESS OUT CHILDREN FOR SUBJECTS LIKE MATH AND SCIENCE.
UNDERSTAND THEIR WEAK POINTS IN EACH SUBJECT, AND HELP THEM ACCORDINGLY.
DON’T GET THEM NERVOUS BEFORE ANY EXAMINATION.

15. LET YOUR CHILD MIX WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS
Don’t isolate your child
Socializing to a bit, can help relieve stress

Success in exam = Success in life
Good marks = Good job
Failure in exam = Failure in life = End of life
