The examinations were round the corner. Kusum was tense and worried. A sword of uncertainty hung on her head. "Hope I will pass." Her mom advised her, " Eat well and sleep well. It will keep you fresh and devoid of stress. Relax your mind.'' Later on don't say," How I wish I had worked hard."

The bane of exams and preparation! Sigh, I hope this changes as our children grow older...
ReplyDeleteThank you Shailaja.You have rightly said that if the students prepare well in advance, they not have examination blues.
DeleteIf the lessons are revised well before the exams , the approaching exam fever can be avoided. But students have to do last minute cramming and this leads to stress.
ReplyDeleteThe last moment preparation leads to stress. Rightly said, Kalpana.
DeleteI guess kids will never change :D I was the same when I was a student. It took some years for me to understand how difficult last minute preps can be :) Thoughtful post , ma'm :)
ReplyDeleteYes kids do not have any serious attitude towards examination.Thanks Sreeja.
DeleteEven if they prepare well, some children get tensed. As parents, we have to repeat kusum's mom's words often. I also tell my daughter to "deep breathe" when she gets tensed. With exams happening everywhere, this post is perfectly timed ma'am.
ReplyDeleteAs the children grow, they realise the importance of the exams and the competition. Yes ,the examination fever has started that's why this this brief reminder.
DeleteYou know its almost a decade since my last school-college exam but I still get one odd nightmare about them :-D
