Exam Results Are Out—Let’s Talk to Kids the Right Way
As exam results roll in, many children face not just report cards but rising anxiety. In homes across the country, well-meaning but harsh comments like “Just 90%?” or “Your cousin did better!” are all too common. But these comparisons often fuel exam stress in children and damage their self-worth.
Children
today already deal with immense academic pressure. What they truly need is supportive
parenting during exams—not fear, not shame.
Instead of
comparing them to others, try saying, “It’s okay, we’ll do better together.” This small
shift in language can have a big impact on your child’s mental health
and motivation.
Remember,
your child is more than a percentage. Celebrate their efforts, their growth,
and their courage to try. Because exams come and go—but your words will stay
with them forever.
Let’s make homes safe spaces where kids feel valued, not judged. This exam season, lead with empathy and encouragement.
How
do you support your child through exam stress? Share your thoughts below—we’d
love to learn from you.
