Tips for parents to keep children stress-free during examination

Exams are indeed a stressful time, but nowadays, with ongoing remote learning, the projection of this stress is much higher among the parents of young kids.
Getting accustomed to classroom learning is going to be so much different for the little ones who begin their primary education during these Covid-19 years.
To top it off, appropriate assessment in schools only happens with a structured examination timeline.
Imitating a similar assessment pattern online for young children is a challenge for teachers, as well as for parents.
These stressful Covid times, limited outdoor activities and social interaction that play a profound role in a child’s development have made it challenging for parents to engage their young ones in a course of productive learning.
To ease the process of exam preparation for the little ones, the parents should pay attention to how their child’s mind is shaping up in terms of conceptual and contextual learning, as primary learning revolves around these.
Here are some tips for parents to keep their young ones stress-free during those hectic exam days:

For example, shape understanding can be done in the form of 3D image videos, with music to give them a more immersive learning experience.
Making them understanding.

Time-table is a solution, but be ready for rule breaks
Planning their day well in advance comes as a good solution, but there are often situations where the little ones are just not in a mood to settle in front of screens and listen attentively.
As parents, what one can do is give them a fulfilling diet, so that they are not distracted by hunger.
Keep them prepared a day before via mock class or test session, talk to them about how they will learn new things and their importance.
