As its exams time now days so let’s talk on this topic today….Generally now a day’s kids don’t have exams in prep sections. As in nursery, junior kg or senior kg kids don’t have exams, they only have assessments. Assessments is like teachers take assessments while playing or doing any activities so that kids don’t have pressure about the exams… Then in many schools kids have exams from 1^st standard itself while in many schools kids have assessments patterns like prep section till 5^th standard. So its but obvious that kids will face some common problems related to exams.

Children have hard time to adjust in new atmosphere when they came in primary class, more work load then senior kg and class teacher is new and all that. Let’s talk about some common problems which kids face after coming in standard 1.

1. CONCENTRATION:

Concentration is main part of good studies. Many kids prepare for exams by reading or just going through their subjects and chapters, but they are unable to grasp the main point because they are not able to concentration on that idea, which is a common problem. As they didn’t concentration in prep sections as there they didn’t find any need to concentration. It was like play and learns. So for that kids need proper sleep, food and a good time of playing which will make them fresh and will able to concentration. Kid should be given short breaks while they are studying so that they don’t get bored and get fresh so that they can concentrate.

2. STRESS:

One of the common problems with the student is to get stressed. As they didn’t had any exam system in prep section they are not use to learn many things all together and can take all learning together. They may get fear also that how will they complete the exams in time. They may fear they will fail in exams and this is the reason they will be over stressed and won’t be able to study properly. So parents should make them understand not to taking over pressure which in turn will give them bad result.

3. TIME OF EXAM:

As they hadn’t sat for exam in smaller standards so they don’t have habit of sitting for 2 hours or more. So this is a problem generally kids face. As in today’s generation mostly kids are hyper active and can’t sit in one place. So when kids go in higher standard they will face this problem of sitting for exam for long time. For this parents should make habit of making sit there kids for giving test at home only, so that they can learn how to sit for exams.

4. HURRY IN FINISHING EXAM:

Mostly all kids have a competition of finishing exams first, as if there is any award of finishing exam first. So kids are in hurry of finishing exams as soon as possible, so that they can tell their friends that they had finished the exam before their friends, no matter how he wrote the exam. So in this hurry they don’t skip many questions and write wrong answers.

5. PLAYFULL NATURE:

Kids age of 5 to 8 years are still of playful nature. They always think of playing games and going out for playing with friends so they are unable to study which results they face problems in exams…Its but natural that kids of this age will like playing more, but its parents duty to turn them slowly towards studies. To overcome this situation you can start with lots of time of playing and sometime of studies. Slowly and steadily you can increase the time of studies.

Problems are difficult to solve but not impossible
