How do I help my child handle board exam stress?

Keep the home calm, make a realistic study plan with breaks, protect sleep and meals, and talk about worries without lecturing. Remind your child that marks are not the whole of their future. If stress is severe, speak to the school counsellor or a doctor.

Try this: 1) Make a weekly timetable together. 2) Praise effort, not only scores. 3) Schedule a daily walk or play break and a fixed bedtime.
