How to Help Your Child to Prepare for Exams

by Ruby Andrew (Submit your guest post and get published here)

As a parent, it’s wrong to wait until your child's grade fall below average to take action. Most parents feel that a teacher should help their kids perform well because they pay them to do so. However, that’s not the case. Children need proper tutoring from both the parent and the teacher and since the teacher cannot cover everything, as a parent, you have to chip in and help your child improve his grades. Do not start taking interest to help your kid with schoolwork when the exams are near. Start early by helping out with the home work and revision. When the exams are near, there are things that you can do which can help your child perform better.

Below are things that you can do to help your child to prepare for exams.

In preparation for the exams

A child needs a parent who will be there for him during the exam time. Exams create fear and tension and the best you can do as a parent is to assist your child in every way.

Be supportive to your kid during the exam period and help your child to overcome the stress and fill positive energies in your child.

Revision and brainstorming

Help your child in tackling difficult questions. Let him write down the topics which seem difficult and assist in covering them each at a time. In order to ensure that all topics are covered before the exam time, organize a time table and divide the topics by the number of days left.

Brainstorm situations that may come up during the exams. These are possible questions that may be in the exam.You can go through previous tests which might give you a clue. Come up with possible solutions.

Help him and develop confidence

A child needs a lot of encouragement especially during exams from people they can trust. Give him an example about how you used to handle the exam situation when you were young. Assure him that he can do it also and nervousness is normal.

Give words of encouragement each day. This will help the child to have confidence to approach the exams. And also encourage your child to study over a period of time rather than craming the entire night.

Providing emotional support

Children need a lot of understanding from their parents. Putting a lot of pressure does not help either. They need to feel loved in these stressful moments.

Create a comfortable environment so as to help the child have peace of mind. Be open with them and let them share their feelings about the exams. Encourage them and offer the best support.

Advise them on how to develop relaxation skills

Relaxation can help you to reduce stress, tension, nervousness and anxiety. There are many relaxation techniques that can be practiced during the short period of time

Show them the importance of relaxing and how it helps the mind improve concentration. Advise them on the importance of taking deep breaths during exams.

Provide a balanced diet

A balanced diet improves concentration and keeps the child healthy. Foods containing Omega 3 is important for good memory and concentration.

A balanced diet and good and relaxing sleep for about eight hours is important for excellent performance. Make sure your kid drinks lots of water to keep them hydrated.

Outdoor Activities

Physical activity and outdoor games can actually help out a child to reenergize the body and helps to burn out those extra pounds and keep your mind active and energetic

Therefore for better performance, physical activities like football, swimming and running will help your child's body feel relaxed and keep the mind active.

Your child's performance is important as it determines his future. Proper preparation for exams can go a long way in helping the child perform better. Your child's welfare should be your first priority and that's why you need the csa contact in case of problems that may arise concerning your child. You will be given proper legal assistance.
