As the students prepare for this year\u2019s PSLE, it\u2019s not only them who are under stress and pressure, parents equally are facing the anxiety related to the preparation and the results of the exam. No matter how much a child is prepared to appear for PSLE, some amount of nervousness is always there until the results are not out and it’s obvious to have this anxiety as after all, PSLE is one of the major exams a child appears for while studying in Singapore. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many parents are more stressed about their child\u2019s score in Mathematics and try their best to support them either by starting PSLE tuition for their child at the pre-school level or by themselves devoting more time to help their child with the subject preparations. Parents start focusing on their child from as early as pre-school, in the hope that a child can ace the PSLE mathematics paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The journey is not that easy for the parents who believe their child is not even average at mathematics. Now the question arises, \u201cis it right to create a pressure on the child at this tender age just because he or she is not so well versed with the subject?\u201d or \u201cjust let them be and not to make this PSLE look like a kind of monster to them\u201d. Well, the answer to this lies somewhere in between. Since PSLE is one of the important milestones in a child\u2019s educational journey, a child can prepare for a difficult subject like mathematics as early as P4 or P5.\u00a0 This early preparation will create a more positive approach and therefore, students will not have a lack of interest towards a subject like mathematics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, every child is different from others and so is their learning capabilities.\u00a0 What may be an easy problem for one student, might be difficult for the other? Therefore, for teachers as well as parents it\u2019s important to understand, how significant their role is as parents to be patient with the child and work on the fundamentals that are necessary to imbibe the confidence required to be comfortable with the subject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best way to start is by keeping a track of your child\u2019s performance in mathematics. Tell them not to give up if they can\u2019t score well in classroom exams. There is always a scope to perform better and learning can\u2019t be stopped if a child doesn\u2019t score well. Understand the problems a child face while learning the subject, take necessary measures to help them. Let them know, how learning can be interesting by helping them to solve their math problems, giving them rewards with each new assignment they complete. If required, can take the help of online assessment tools designed specially to analyze a child\u2019s performance in mathematics and accordingly assisting them to understand the subject with much more ease and less confusion. This will not only motivate them but also infuse confidence required to appear for PSLE. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apart from a child\u2019s hard work, a rational\napproach is required from parents to cope up with this unnecessary phobia of\nPSLE. Set realistic goals for your child and encourage them to achieve them.\nDon\u2019t create more anxiety for a child by repeating questions like \u201cyou have to\nget the good grades in PSLE\u201d, \u201cYou are poor in math, what are you going to do\nin PSLE\u201d.  Your child is already under\nthe stress of uncertainty when it comes to PSLE so show them you trust their\nabilities, guide them, help them to first work on fundamentals, celebrate their\nefforts, be in touch with the teachers and try to get feedback whenever\nrequired. Let PSLE not be a dark tunnel but an enriching learning experience\nfor your child.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
