areas from previous exams and work on them. - Make a Time Management Plan for all subjects.

- Try to coincide study time with the time, you would be giving an

toughest subject. - Repeat your learnt work to make recall easier. Work not repeated or
revised is easily forgotten. - Plan your revision time by drawing up a timetable.

come to it. - To avoid a stress situation for your child, provide constructive and

- Good schooling and tuition are not substitutes for emotional
cushioning. - Help your child to maintain his/her confidence especially when s/he
seems discouraged by dropping marks or grades. Do not burden
your child with your anxiety. - The achievement goals should be realistically set according to your
child's capability. - Do not mix academic issues with family conflicts.
- Praise your child when s/he does well. Encourage your child's
performance with positive statements like, "well done", “you did your
best" “I’m sure you’ll pick it up next time” rather than saying "that
was not enough" - Work out our child's schedule with him/her instead of nagging
him/her. There could be learning problems. - Do NOT harp on pervious failures or results
- Under-achievement may be due to your child believing it is safer not
to try, than to try and fail. - If achievement expectations are too high some children would
prefer to be criticized for being lazy rather than being considered not
good enough. - Humour relieves tension. Be light and humorous with the child.
- Try to gain your child's confidence and discuss his/her problems
with him/her, help your child to find solutions. - Exams are not the end of the world.
- Accept that expectation for everyone to do well is unrealistic as
many won't pursue studying long-term.
