Hey Everyone,
Anxious as the school year draws to an end?
Here's help for you and your children
Know And Understand How To
Bust Exam Stress
With These
Helpful Tips
IT'S THAT TIME OF THE YEAR again the exams are around the corner and there's a cloud of stress hanging in the air at home. Here are some effective strategies that will help you and your child stay on top.
Develop Smart learning methods
Develop Smart learning methods
Encourage creative learning.
We often equate hard work with the number of hours a child puts in. But it's really the quality of learning that makes the difference. Active Learning methods such as reading aloud, helping others learn,brainstorming, recording and listening ( for auditory learners), highlighting, mind mapping, making notes and diagrams ( for visual learners ) and movement, walking around, dribbling the ball ( for kinaesthetic learners ) or maybe a mix of all these can help the brain absorb the information efficiently.
Let them take a break
Each child is wired differently some need breaks every hour, while others can stay focussed for hours. A break will help energize the overloaded brain.
A high-protein or unprocessed carb snack , a jog in the park or listening to music refreshes the brain , preparing it for further learning and retention. Once in a while, take long breaks - a meal at a restaurant or a good movie is okay. These will keep your child feeling upbeat and prepare for the long haul.
Change TICs to TOCs

Change TICs to TOCs
Task interfering cognitions (TICs) - " This is boring," " I don't want to do it now," "I will do it later"- can lead to deprivation and chronic procrastination.
So help your kid to embrace TOCs (task-orienting cognitions)-"I am going to have fun doing these maths problems," "I am going to stay focussed and get this done," to keep the energy and motivation alive.
Remove Distractions.

Remove Distractions.
Sit down with him / her and identify them.
It could be the TV, mobile phones, social media , music , gaming consoles. Your Child will try and convince you that multitasking makes him / her focus better. But research shows that this is a myth , listen calmly but take a clear stand.
Help your kids visualize
Help your kids visualize
Before the exams, help your child visualize the exam morning- every detail from the travel to the exam centre, walking in, meeting friends, sitting down and going through the question paper. Let him / her see themselves answering the questions with complete confidence and alertness. Research has shown that visualizing prepares the brain in advance for affirmative action.
Ensure enough sleep

It helps the over wrought brain recover, improving concentration and focus. A high-protein breakfast wakes the brain up like nothing else can.
Work on yourself so you don't lose your nerve.

Avoid nagging. If you feel your child is not putting in enough effort, sit down and have a chat with him / her, Listen, empathize with her struggles and together, work out a plan that will help het stay on track, remember, kids will do well if they are given the support they need.
Create an and, comfortable atmosphere at home
Exams do not mean gloom and drudgery. Make space for fun, laughter , playfulness , good food and music.
The happier the child, the more effectively the child will be able to learn.
