Do you get stressed out when your kids are having exams?

[en107rn.01056yahoo.01056com.01056sg]

I’m not stress out by my kids exam. Not yet since they are not sitting for any big exam papers. Maybe when PSLE looms nearer, the anxiety will bite me too.


If they sit for competition, I am not stress either. By the time the competition day arrive, I more or less can gauge what their level of competency. If they put on good effort, I feel comfortable but if they are not serious, I feel sorry for them for being so ill prepared. But, they got to learn from their mistake as I have done my part by voicing out opinion and feedback. The choice is theirs to make.

So far so good, thank God, no stress.


Only stressed about trivias like
where to park?
where to eat?
where to rest?
is toilet clean?
and being late…touchwood so far never happen before.

And totally afraid of Murphy’s Law which is still classified under trivias.

I have been late in fetching the kids before. Boy, can ds blow up. His face turns all red & I thought I saw smoke coming out at the top of his head. When given that look, I sure :scared: Very stress when trying to beat the traffic just to be on time.

Get very stress during my children exam period. Today read about a P5, 11 yrs old boy jumped down from his flat after the oral exam. I am so worried for my P3 son. He seems to be something wrong somewhere but I don’t know what’s wrong. He is in P3, he scored 78 for science and 84 for maths in his mock exam and his teacher emailed to me and said that he don’t seems to be doing well in his exam and he is not motivated to work hard. When I checked with him, he know the ans but he just don’t feel like doing his best and some ans are blank. He is in the top class in school so they are being push very hard to score band 1 or 2. I am so worried that he was being stress and do not know he can cope with it. I rather have a stupid child than loss my child.

Mayb u should tell yr son that you are pleased with his performance and not to give himself undue pressure. He should view education as a means of increasing his knowledge and not a test of his ability.
Tests/exams are impt and is a source to assess how well he had grasp the subjects but marks is certainly not the main thing which you are going to guage him.

Yes, I get stressed up during my children’s exam periods. I teach them myself and I monitor their work closely.

I will get the children to do past year papers so that I can brush up on their weak areas.
Today is the last day of my son’s exams and I can finally relax a bit.
