An exam in my opinion is no judge of your LIFE. It dosent determine that you live or die. So don't get so harried abpout it . relax that paper is not going to snap you up in a gulp. Secondly I donot agree that tennagers feel that it is so called 'uncool' to study . I know of a kid who has a great social life yet has starring grades . Yet there are the paradox of kids who are homebound and are medicore. Donot limit your kids social life just because he is not doing well. there are many other factors . Most importantly to do well , he has to be foccused about his aims and achievements and should try to deter failure believing that it is not the end . Howeever donot gloat over successes too. I agree that there is prestige associated with the IIT but How many kids who are their graduates do we haer of as names . Remember that they also heve a fair share of drop outs . I mayself am no graduate of a renownd uni , but I am travelling with my profession . Also many parents have the attidude of talking about and comparing their kids grades and achiveements and then telling their kids ' XYZ can achieve this why can't you ' Remeber that your kid is no ABC OR XYZ . He is who he is . I keep to the attidude that my kids education is my business and I donot discuss the issue with other arents as well . Name: Purnima Country: India Comment: I wish parents whose children have had test anxiety would share their experiences. My child suffers from test anxiety and actually gets fever the day before or on the day of the exam. At first I did not want to jump to this conclusion as she is a fairly good student. When this happened three times in a row - ie. at every exam every 6 months i came to this conclusion. Apart from boosting her confidence and telling her "she can do it" and ofcourse giving her a paracetamol to bring the fever down what else can be done for the long term? Please advise. Name: AG Country: USA Comment: OK... we now know the "why" so what can we do to help children that are experiencing test anxiety? Name: kshiv_99@yahoo.com Country: India Comment: I have already given my comments on this article, but I was disappointed to see that there were no other views which gives the impression that people do not bother to share their views and experiences on such articles which are of crucial importance for scientific development of their child's personality.. shiv kumar Name: shiv kumar Country: India Comment: The article is very informative and thought -provocative. It provides a good insight of what goes on in the mind of the child when he prepares for the test or interview. The article will serve a useful purpose if the school authorities could pick up a or two things from the article and revise their methodologies for testing the abilities of the children.
