SUPPORTIVE PARENTS AND STRESS-FREE STUDENTS                                                                                -Gitanjali Kaur

While some stress is normal and even healthy, children today seem to encounter many stressful lives. It can be difficult for a parent to stand by and watch their student go through the rigors of exams, whether in high school or college. Exams are tough on students – many of whom don’t take care of their bodies with late night cram sessions, unhealthy eating habits, over-doses of caffeine, not to mention extremely high levels of anxiety and stress. While parents can’t take the exams for them they surely can help ease their exam anxieties in other ways. For example, helping them avoid procrastination by touching base with their assignments and exams, asking whether or not he or she feels prepared and has studied. They can also encourage healthy study and lifestyle habits like finding them a healthy snack that they might enjoy while studying, or talking to them about how important it is to get the right amount of sleep and also inquiring whether they are taking any time off from studying to relax and have fun and that it’s not healthy to study all day, every day because he or she is likely get burnt out eventually. They can also encourage the student to develop regular exercise habits and offer support before and after the exam by reminding the student of the love and support no matter the outcome of their exams. The parents should take time to remind them that their entire future does not depend on one particular exam and you know that they worked to achieve the best possible grade and it’s not the end of the world if their score isn’t what they hoped for. This would likely ease their stresses as a lot of students put a lot of pressure on themselves to please their parents, whether the parents know it or not. This would ultimately keep the students stress-free.
