Board exams are a big deal for a teenager, stressful and anxious. As a parent, you can help them stay focused, confident and prepared. Here are a few ways to help them prepare the upcoming board exam:
Help them create a realistic timetable that includes all subjects, revisions and breaks so they don’t do last minute cramming.
Short breaks between study sessions helps concentration and prevents mental exhaustion.
Balanced diet and at least 7-8 hours of sleep improves memory, focus and overall wellbeing.
Don’t add pressure, instead appreciate their efforts and remind them that hard work pays off.
If they are struggling with a subject, offer help, arrange for extra resources or consider tuition if needed.
Solving previous year’s question papers and mock tests helps them understand exam pattern and time management.
Encourage relaxation techniques like deep breathing, meditation or light exercise to reduce exam stress.
Let them talk about their fears and concerns about exams without judgment and offer reassurance and guidance.
Just being there to listen, offer guidance or provide small comforts like a cup of tea can boost their morale.
