As graduation and entrance exams approach, parents begin to worry no less than the children themselves.
Understanding that the stakes are high, parents try to do everything to ensure that the future applicant passes the exam or test as well as possible.
Let's look at the most common mistakes that parents make along the way.
Total control or overprotection
Both are tiring, both individually and together.
Parents should not take responsibility for the results of exams. Let him make decisions himself, otherwise it may create the wrong impression that little depends on the student.
For the same reason, you should avoid excessive control. Anxiety tends to be transmitted, or the child will get tired from the high load.
Exaggerate and panic
Often parents scare schoolchildren with the phrase that if you don’t get into college right away, then your whole life will go down the drain.
This can lead to a nervous breakdown in an impressionable child. It is better to think of backup options in case something does not go according to plan.
Compare with others
Don't remind them that you yourself were glued to your textbooks at that time, that the neighbor's child was repeating the material covered day and night. There are plenty of such examples, but they are of no use.
Remember that a teenager may have his own system of values and guidelines.
It would be much better to relieve stress, remember to rest and adequately assess the child’s abilities and strengths.
