What parents need to do for their children before exam season

1. Don't put pressure on your child

Parents should never set goals that are too far away or too difficult to achieve. This will put pressure on the child and cause depression.

2. Be willing to accept bad results

Parents need to create a solid mental foundation for their children and be ready to accept an unsatisfactory test result. Don't put too much emphasis on achievement, as children will easily become depressed.

Parents need to create a solid mental foundation for their children and be ready to accept an exam result that is not as expected.

3. The reward plan must be clever.

If rewards and punishments are necessary, they must be given appropriately. Accordingly, parents also need to come up with a reward plan for their children by telling them to strive to pursue their passions and study. If they achieve this, parents will support their children with the necessary gifts.

4. Listen to your child

When children present, parents must listen to see if they have any wishes in choosing a career, choosing the right school and major; from there, parents must slowly answer their children's questions.

5. Limit irritability with children

Parents should minimize their anger towards their children, especially during exam season. Parents should create a harmonious, warm, loving environment in the family, which is the ideal condition for children to absorb lessons most effectively.

6. Don't cram knowledge

Parents should not pressure their children by cramming knowledge, forcing them to run from class to class to prepare for exams.

7. Pay attention to your child's activities and emotions

During exam season, parents should pay special attention to their children's activities. Do not let them drink coffee or stay up late because it will make them exhausted.

8. Take care of your diet

In addition to helping relieve psychological pressure to help children confidently pass important exams, taking care of their health during the exam season is also an issue that many parents are concerned about. During the exam season, parents should feed their children with enough nutrients such as meat, fish, eggs, milk and fruits rich in fiber.

The menu should also follow the principle of “3 reductions and 1 increase”: reduce sugar, reduce salt, reduce fat and increase fiber. Parents should tactfully advise their children not to try to “cram” their studies after 12 o’clock at night, but instead have a deep sleep, practice the habit of getting enough sleep (6-8 hours a day) and wake up earlier to make up for lost study the next day.

9. Work with your child to learn and determine learning methods.

Together with your child, learn and determine a reasonable study and review method, listen and understand your child's thoughts, not only strengthen family ties, but also help your child confidently step on the path of his future career. Help your child's studying and taking exams no longer be a worry, but instead be an enthusiasm to overcome challenges with the reliable companionship of parents.
