A schoolchild taking a final exam may not fully understand that his entire future life depends on the result.
And then parents over-dramatize, wind things up, and as a result, due to anxiety, you can forget your own first and last name.
Therefore, in addition to the proper level of knowledge, proper nutrition and healthy rest, parents need to provide their children with wise advice.
Here are some phrases you'll have to forget for now.
1. "If you fail the exam, you'll end up sweeping the streets." Truly, this phrase takes away any interest in going to an educational institution, let alone practicing erudition.
Parents thereby relieve themselves of responsibility for the child's future, instead of preparing several backup options.
2. "Everyone in our family had a higher education." You might think that if a child gets a different kind of diploma, he or she will no longer be a relative. It is understandable that parents worry and want only the best, but children should not be responsible for this.
And one more thing. In this way, moms and dads admit that they will be disappointed by their child’s failure, even humiliated.
3. "Are you not worried about your future at all?" The "best" thing to ask on the eve of an exam. If the child is calm, it means he or she is confident in his or her knowledge. It is better to talk about how to optimize the preparation, what he or she might have missed, and be glad that at least your son or daughter has healthy nerves.
4. "Your friend hasn't put his textbook down for days." Comparison has always been the worst method. If you want to get your child to study, try praising him personally and sincerely, and remind him of the reward for his diligence.
5. "Everything will be fine anyway." This is optimistic, but largely irresponsible. This way, the child may think that mom or dad will solve everything if he fails the exam.
