DEALING WITH EXAM STRESS

At exam time, newspapers fill with tips about how best to handle stress during exams. All too often, stories surface about kids whose exam stress become too much to handle. In societies like India, where a lot of emphasis is put on education and the importance of success in a very competitive environment, the burden placed on the child’s shoulders can become too much, sometimes unnoticed by parents and with dire consequences.

Our very own member Mira Shah, a practicing psychologist and psychotherapist for the last 30 years and a freelance journalist will walk us through the causes and symptom of exam stress, explaining how best to put a support system in place to help our kids and what remedial and preventive measures can be taken.
