If you are a mommy and you have kid in primary section then you must keep yourself strees free. Let me remind you , we are not going to write the exams for our kids.
We mothers always take unnecessary stress on behalf of our kids for completing the syllabus, for memorising the question answer, for learning the spelling and bla, bla, bla. And suddenly we realised our kids are too behind! ( As per our point of views 😜)
And the game start - building a pressure.
Right.
But, is it really necessary?
Please moms, calm down! Take deep breaths and release unnecessary stress. Always have a moto that your child should be able to read, write and understand. Pay attention to these three core things. Study will be followed automatically.
How to achieve this?
All you need is a practice and 10 simple study tips. Practice of reading and writing. And the most important is lower your expectations from your child. Every kid have his uniqueness. They will learn with their pace.

1. START EARLY
You have to start as early as possible. Keep a habit of completed notes, notebooks and workbook. You should keep on check on this regularly. This way you have completed notes to study.
2. READ A LESSON
Most students do not read the lesson. Keep a habit of reading a lesson before you start to read questions and answers. Because once you read the lesson you don't need to memorize answers.
3. FIX TIME FOR STUDY.
Fix a proper time for study specially when your child is fresh and not tired. If parents are sitting with kids for study then allocate fix time. Keep the screen away and fully concentrate on studying only ( specially for parents. 😄) Keep it for 1 hour or 2 hour with 5 to 10 minutes breaks.
4. PREPARE TIME TABLE
Now you fix your time then prepare the time table for a week. So that you can touch each subject on a daily basis. Try to stick to your time tables.
5. WRITE ANSWERS AND PRACTICE SPELLING.
For language subjects try to write answers. Learn to write without spelling mistakes and memorize answers. This way you can learn how to write your answers in structure way.
6. DAILY MATHS PRACTICE
You have to practice math on a daily basis. Maths is the only subject which you cannot memorize. Practice it regularly and clear your doubts from the parents or teachers.
7. TAKE TEST ON COMPLETION OF SYALLABUS
Once you complete the syllabus for a particular subject ask your parents to take a test. You will know your positive and negative points. Work on those negative points.
8. PRACTICE PREVIOUS YEAR QUESTION PAPERS
Once your syllabus is done. Revision done then starts to solve previous year question papers. This will give you the idea regarding paper patterns.
9. OUTDOOR PLAY
The most important part is to have outdoor play. Give your child sufficient outdoor play time. Allocate fix time say 2, 3 hours for outdoor play. This will refresh your brain, mind and your body too.
10. SLEEP
Last but not the least sleep.
Sleep is most important. If your child is rested well then only they can study well. Try to have a fixed time for sleep up to 10:30 pm. Your child must have 9 to 10 hour sleep. Sleep always keeps your child fresh and energetic.

# Do not compare your child with the neighbor's child or even social media child.
# Keep home atmosphere light and filled with laughter.
# Stop nagging your child. You are making them frustrated.
# Start early as much as possible to avoid last minute rush.
# Help to clear out concept of your child calmly.

# Keep your voice low 😜 yes it is bit difficult but try to talk in soft voice during study session.

I send them for Hindi and Kannada tuitions because I cannot help them with those. Rest I may try and help them. Only in Grade 7, they have test/exam starting so let's see how it goes.
ReplyDeleteThese study tips are incredibly practical and empathetic, recognizing the unique challenges and pressures that both parents and primary students face during exam periods.
ReplyDeleteIt's also refreshing to see an approach that prioritizes a stress-free environment, understanding, and patience over the relentless pursuit of academic achievement.
Really useful tips for the exams. I find parents putting too much pressure on their kids to perform even though they are incapable.
ReplyDeleteI have been out of exam zone for ages, as am old and single. But more recently, I was thinking of enrolling in a course, and your tips are helpful for that as well. Parents would certainly benefit from following your points.
ReplyDeleteExtremely well curated tips and pointers. I am so thankful I came upon your posts and will surely try implemting all the pointers given by you.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the well curated posts and pointers. I will surely try implemeting all the tips and hopefully will make study time not a drudgery for both my kiddo and myself.
ReplyDeleteTution is good thing especially when parents are working. But you cannot trust only the school teachers or tution teachers for better marks. It's the zeal of learning of the students and involvement of parents are also equally important.
ReplyDeleteSo thoughtful of you to come up with a post like this which benefits both parties.
ReplyDeletePhew!!! so many things to do for parents n I don't do any. I am the opposite kind of parent Neeta... I don't feel stressed at all and my girls study on their own. I only make sure that we don't leave them alone n go anywhere during exam time... one adult has to be home... otherwise I am pretty much normal. My elder daughter just finished her 9th finals, from 1st April she is going to grade 10... omg! n my younger one has her final exams from Wednesday and she has gone to play. 🙈
My son is currently in Grade 3, and he's having his formative cycle exams. You're absolutely right, parents often feel more pressure than kids during exams. Thanks for sharing these tips.
ReplyDeleteDear Neeta,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing these invaluable study tips for primary students. As a mom myself, I can totally relate to the stress and pressure that often accompany exam season. It's true that sometimes we get so caught up in our own worries that we forget our kids are just fine being carefree until we introduce them to the concept of pressure.
Your reminder to keep ourselves stress-free is so important. After all, our kids need a calm and supportive environment to thrive academically.
These are really valuable reminders, I am luckily out of that period when my kids are in primary classes but I do remember how stressed i would be .
ReplyDeleteThese are very useful and practical tips and suggestions. As you said, its not the parents' test/exam but those of the kids which is utmost to remember. I hope more parents understand this and let kids be kids
ReplyDeleteThank you for reading

DeleteThe toughest part during exams is to keep kids away from distractions. And school gives so much regular work that preparing in advance is close to impossible. Also in CBSE schools in Chennai, every month kids have exams so they are literally fed up because no sooner one finishes in 3 weeks its time for the next one. As parents we also feel this is tiring.
ReplyDeleteYes, I can understand. Exam time keep it normal. Don't need to act something different.
DeletePro tips saving it for the future coz I am sure it is of great help. Great by the way.
ReplyDelete💜💜

Deletea very thoughtful list of pointers. I'm sure both kids and parents will truly feel better if they follow these, especially about the nagging.
ReplyDeleteThank you

ReplyDelete💜💜
DeleteIt's that time of the year again. I still have nightmares that I have prepared for the wrong exam. I wish I could have read some tips like these back then.
ReplyDelete🤣🤣 you are not alone Raghav . I also gone through this.
DeleteThis might sound weird, but I actually loved exam times!! I remember in tenth and twelfth grades I had developed strict schedules for myself and followed them very well. The mantra was a lot of practice and I loved teaching my friends which helped me also learn and revise better.
ReplyDeleteAs a grown up we liked it. Once you studied well you will love exams too.
DeleteMy friend whose baby is in pre school. But she is so worried as his exams were approaching. I have shared it with her ...so that she can be calmer
ReplyDeleteVery thoughtful and precise tips for all parents. As a teacher myself and a parent of young kids I know how the parents feel. I have seen mothers cribbing for lots of syllabus and kids are playing stressfree. So instead of transferring your pressure to your kids and make things more complicated its better to start early. Thanks for these practical tips.
ReplyDeleteI like that you included break time and sleep time in your tips. It's so important.
