2. Be available: Your child needs you NOW, more than ever. Be your child’s exam partner! Be available. Talk to your child and listen to them with your heart and mind. Be prepared to deal with their cranky behaviour.
3. Time Management: Create a schedule (allocate time as per the level of difficulty), stick to the schedule, give time for regular breaks, revise often, set realistic goals, encourage timely naps, set time aside for unforeseen events.
4. Prioritisation: Review your child’s previous exam patterns, understand their exam techniques, help them prioritise high yield topics, avoid distractions during exam time, reduce social events at home and tone down the emotional noise at home.
5. Sleep & Nutrition: Sleep consolidates learning and memory. Make sure your child gets 6-8 hours of sleep every night- including the night before exams. Ensure that your child is well-fed and hydrated with a balanced and healthy diet. Avoid junk food and street food.
6. Positive reinforcement: Appreciating achievements will encourage your child to achieve more. Never undermine your child’s abilities. Every child is unique, don’t compare.
7. Positive attitude: Believe in your child and foster a positive attitude towards the exams. Exams are not the end of the world.
