How to Defeat Exam Fever?

EXAM FEVER is the virus which is spread among students from long back. Exam time is a period where students and parents are anxious, spend sleepless nights. Students worry about exams for days during and before exam days. Exam tests student knowledge of subjects which they studied and learned over the academic year but due to exam fever they can't perform to their best.

Many students experience unpleasant, negative thoughts during the exam periods, by which they loose concentration while preparing and as well as while performing in the exam. Concentration plays a very important role for students; students should study with no disturbance and with peaceful mind. Best way is to follow timetables made by you considering all factors like sleep time, relax time or eating time check all your routines and prepare a good timetable which can be followed. Concentration comes automatically when you are healthy and happy, so be happy and healthy during exams.

Some students are confident till they enter into the exam hall, but as they look into the question paper their mind is blank for some time as they think about the questions which they can't answer or for which they didn't prepare. This is a mistake done by many students they check the whole question paper once its in their hand, it's a wrong step specially for those who get sacred or afraid of not doing well seeing the whole questions. I agree student should be aware of questions to mange their time for lengthy answers, so best thing to do is check 2-3 questions, answer them and then check whole paper, choose best possible questions to answer them. This way student can gain some confidence as he already answered few questions.

Parents can be very helpful for students who are afraid of exams. Help them to revise, making notes, briefing points and conducting mock tests. Try to break up the difficult chapters into points, so that they can understand and study easily. Foremost thing that parent should take care is to see their child is fresh and taken good food during exams especially on the day of the exam.

Parents Play a Vital Role for Childs Psychology

My friend Sindhu is a Counselor for school kids. Thought of sharing some experiences of her while counseling and teaching. First let me tell you about Sindhu, she is my friend from class 1, she is a very active girl from childhood. Sindhu was the first person to contact if her friends/classmates had some issues, she always uses to have some or the other solution for the issue. May be that's the reason she took this profession and doing with efficiency.

She shared some of hers counseling experiences with me, according to her primary class students are very tuff to counseled. They are very innocent by which we can't explain her in a matured manner we need to be very patient with them. One boy of 1st STD failed in his exams due to health problems he was a good student. He was forced to repeat his class, he wasn't ready for that, and he wanted to sit with his friends of his previous year class. He was disturbed and was loosing interest in studies; he stopped talking with others in-fact with his parents also. Sindhu counseled him with great difficulty as he is innocent, in first 2-3 sessions he dint even look up, slowly he got close to her and was very comfortable with her. She at last convinced that child and soon he was like before happy and joyful.

Parents play a vital role for Child's mentality but most of the parents are working and have very less time for their kids. They feel lonely and develop bad habits like smoking, drinking especially teenagers. One girl was addicted to drugs, after counseling sindhu came to know most of her friends do the same when they feel lonely……that's really pity. She had conversation with all her friends and had a successful session; she helped them to explain that parents work for them to give them better life, she took them to orphanage to show how kids are alone no body to take care and they are much better than those orphans. She had a separate counseling for parents, she told them the situation and explained them to spend some time and talk with them at least on weekends by which kids understand them and cooperate.

Counseling can be defined as interpersonal, theory-based process of helping children who are physically healthy but have developmental and situational issues. As I mentioned earlier parents play a vital role for child's psychology mentality, so parents should take care of their kids and talk with them as much as possible. Be a tutor to your develop child's psychology. Counselors do their part but parents are the ones who are close to kids.
