Support during Exam time
Expert session Question & Answers

I want my child to enjoy the learning journey throughout. Learning any topic has to be engaging and fun. Exams should just be a means of validating the same. Is this correct?

Correct, we need to develop some methods of teaching, giving quality time. Exam time is a very crucial time for every child. If they are not prepared then they will keep a distance from that subject. He will give excuses. If he is in mobile and digital addiction then he needs that time more than subject revision. He may face pressure on subjects and syllabus. He may be facing some emotional pressure. First, try to understand his status in preparation of all the subjects. Just select the subjects and topics which are not ready with preparations. Put your efforts in a productive direction, where the efforts will give you results that you want. So make it your personal goal. Take authority with silence and happy moods. Give him courageous thoughts on the topics where he is confident.

Can you advise on strategies when the child has lost interest in a subject due to poor teaching methods at school? Can you give examples of such platforms?

Digital learning can help with our involvement so that he will not get distracted. Mark some sites where you will get trust in the knowledge we are getting from that lecture. Just give him the task to listen, then ask questions and interact on that topic. Every action in giving a task should be time-bound, with our sincere follow up. Eg- SST- pick one lesson on forests, give him time to understand from resources he has. Interact on the topic with adding your thoughts.

We can use some of our traditional games like snakes and ladder, house coins, scrabble, word games, storytelling and building which can give them fun and learning. Especially for SST.

How do we eliminate the stress component of the exams?

Calculate the marks, with the possibility in percentage. Write on paper all the marks and design the syllabus to give him confidence with study and concept clearing with writing practice.
