In a blink of an eye, one week passes so fast that the new school term is starting again.
For those kids who are taking their PSLE, I am sure they are starting to feel the stress and jitters..I hope parents are not too harsh on them as it may give them additional stress and sleepless nights.
These kids nowadays have lots of pride. They dont want to reveal their weaknesses and put a front to convince us that they are ready for the exams BUT in true spirit, they are scared to the core. My son is one of this kind :)
With all the expectations of them to do well, naturally they feel the stress mounting. They sometimes can't cope and adapt well to stress and therefore throw tantrums and start to rebel. All these are symptoms of stress. As parents, I feel that we should encourage and love them unconditionally even though they don't fare well in their exams. Don't you agree that learning is a life long journey? Somehow, if our children can understand, nothing matters more to us than their well being.
After all, character building, compassion for others, honesty and respect for mankind are far important then a learned person with a flawed character, selfish and heartless towards elders. What kind of society will we have in the future if it is solely results driven?
