I am sure your kids have definitely heard this said all the time. It\u2019s not the best\u00a0idea to start studying just the night before an exam. Spend your valuable time to help them understand and assimilate concepts.<\/p>\n
2. Organise the study area<\/span><\/h2>\n![\"shutterstock_206439001-2\"](\"https:\/\/de927adv5b23k.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/shutterstock_206439001-2.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Let them have a personal space to study which does not have distractions. You will be surprised to know how much the interiors of the room can distract a child. Don’t let them develop the habit of studying on the bed. Invest in a good study table that has enough space for them to organise their books, notes etc. You don\u2019t want them to get frustrated trying to locate the\u00a0particular notes they need in the middle of a study session. That will break their chain of\u00a0thought and distract them when they need to focus.<\/p>\n
3. Give them the space<\/span><\/h2>\n![\"shutterstock_308453831-2\"](\"https:\/\/de927adv5b23k.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/shutterstock_308453831-2.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Listen to your child when they struggle with studying. If anything makes them uncomfortable, try to understand what that is. For example, if your child is used to studying with music, let them have a playlist in place, so they don\u2019t have to break their mental processes because of unwanted\u00a0music.\u00a0Let them tackle one subject at a time, so there is no unnecessary pressure of \u201cthere\u2019s so much to do!\u201d.<\/p>\n
4. Teach them to plan well<\/span><\/h2>\n![\"shutterstock_364116071-2\"](\"https:\/\/de927adv5b23k.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/shutterstock_364116071-2.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Teach them to budget their time well. Try to evaluate how much time each topic could\u00a0take. Don’t be too ambitious, give them enough time to truly understand rather than just\u00a0remembering what they read. If they are pressed for time, list down topics and chapters in\u00a0descending order of priority and approach in that order. Don’t make each study\u00a0session too long and try to have some variety in the study material over the course of a\u00a0session or a day to preclude boredom. Also try to allocate some time for revision, at least\u00a0of the really important portions.<\/p>\n
5. Encourage group studies<\/span><\/h2>\n![\"shutterstock_12040246-2\"](\"https:\/\/de927adv5b23k.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/shutterstock_12040246-2.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Contrary to what you may think, a group session helps your child. For starters you can’t really solve every doubt that your child has and he\/she may also feel intimidated studying from you many times. Studying with a friend or in groups has multiple benefits. It is a\u00a0great way to keep your child motivated and fight back boredom. Having people studying the\u00a0same stuff around them is a great opportunity to clear doubts and gain new insights. Group study sessions\u00a0can help remove a lot of doubts and misconceptions in addition to being useful for testing\u00a0each other with questions.<\/p>\n
6. Conduct mock exams<\/span><\/h2>\nInvest time in making a question paper that is based on previous years exams. Apart from the format, keep the environment as close to an actual exam- time bound, privacy, answer sheets etc. When you correct the paper of your child, explain their mistakes and acknowledge what they have done right. Let them revisit their mistakes as part of the revision. Old question papers also help them figure out the portions that are worth more marks. This makes the actual exams a little less daunting.<\/p>\n
7. Taking breaks is important<\/span><\/h2>\n![\"shutterstock_451157707-2\"](\"https:\/\/de927adv5b23k.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/shutterstock_451157707-2.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Remember to let them take plenty of breaks in-between study sessions. This\u00a0will help them come back with a fresh and more relaxed perspective. It also helps ensure\u00a0that they don’t overload their brain. Let them plan their breaks according to the times of day or night and according to their tendency to be productive.<\/p>\n
8. Let them use the breaks wisely<\/span><\/h2>\nIt\u2019s important to be mindful of what they do during their\u00a0breaks. Watching TV or playing video games is likely to tax their eyes and brain even\u00a0further. Instead, a short walk outdoors during the day to take the mind off things is far\u00a0more beneficial. They will also collect some Vitamin D in the sun; it helps keep the brain\u00a0healthy. Make sure they switch off completely during the break rather than spending it\u00a0worrying about the exam or the portions.<\/p>\n
9. Avoid rote learning<\/span><\/h2>\n![\"shutterstock_439620277-2\"](\"https:\/\/de927adv5b23k.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/shutterstock_439620277-2.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
It might seem like the easiest thing to do, but they run the risk\u00a0of forgetting everything they\u2019ve learnt \u201cby heart\u201d when they see the question paper. One\u00a0could even panic if one would forget a single word and then end up failing to remember the entire\u00a0answer because of one word. While it is crucial to remember some keywords (especially\u00a0while studying definitions), remember that context is the key to spark off faster and more\u00a0accurate recall. Take your time to help them contextualise everything they study. The chances\u00a0of remembering it are significantly higher than if simply rote-learning.<\/p>\n
10. Let them dress well<\/span><\/h2>\n![\"shutterstock_312215795-2\"](\"https:\/\/de927adv5b23k.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/shutterstock_312215795-2.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
It may seem insignificant or even frivolous, but it\u2019s important that they\u00a0give their physical appearance some attention. It affects everything – the way they respond to their own image in the mirror, the way people look at them when they walk by – it all has a\u00a0significant impact on the way they perceive themselves. It is very important to appear confident\u00a0and collected; that can help boost their morale in ways you cannot imagine. Help them.<\/p>\n
Keep in mind that although exams are very important and marks definitely do matter, they\u2019re not\u00a0worth the mental and physical well-being. There is a very simple way to deal with them without\u00a0causing more serious long-term damage to their body. Whether it is the disruption of their sleep-cycles or raising the risk of developing cardiovascular problems later in life. This exam\u00a0season, help your child beat the stress with these easy tricks and let them face the exams with confidence and poise!<\/p>\n
