Councilor’s Desk Parental support is crucial during exam season. It not only affects the performance of the child but their overall well-being during the examination. It is understandable that as a parent we expect children to set the bar higher than they previously did. However, it’s the constant urge for perfection which creates stress. One of the most important things that we can do for our children is to develop a sense of self- esteem in them. Positive self-esteem will be far more fruitful for them than any significant numbers on the mark sheet.
