While both school and family involvement are important, the role of family involvement is stronger when it comes to academic success. Children spend more time in their homes than in the classroom. The way they absorb certain information is directly linked to the kind of environment they find themselves in.&nbsp;
A positive and academia friendly environment will boost the child&rsquo;s motivation to keep doing their best and also help them bounce back from setbacks and failures.&nbsp;

Exam results and scores tend to create unwanted and excessive pressure; it also brings along a lot of expectations and a tendency to make comparisons with their peers.&nbsp;
Poor scores on an examination creates a lot of fear within the child; they may feel like a failure, like they have let down their parents and teachers, and they might even experience self- doubt. Instead of scolding, comforting them is more important as they usually feel vulnerable and under confident after receiving their results. When a child receives their exam results/ score cards; what parents say; their words and actions can have a permanent impact on their self- esteem.&nbsp;

What parents need to do is to put across a mindful reminder for their children that You believe in them and that they are capable of achieving their goals and that they can still achieve them.&nbsp;
The greater the acceptance of their current state; the lesser the anxiety experienced by the child.&nbsp;

1. Just validating your child&rsquo;s emotions and feelings can also be a good first step forward. In the moment when the child is feeling something; validation needs to take place without judgement or expectation. This helps the child to feel at ease with their state of mind too and gives them the strength to accept their insecurities and failures.&nbsp;
2. Parents can ideally encourage and team up with their children to look for solutions and plan ahead.&nbsp;
3. They can help their child to scan through their lesson material and help them learn from their mistakes.&nbsp;
4. Help the child in introspecting, instead of making them feel rejected/ reprimanded.&nbsp;
5. Support them to gradually look at the bigger picture.
It is important to instil the idea that: Aptitude, Approach/ attitude and Life skills are the biggest factors in life for success.&nbsp;The effort put by the child could be 100% but understand that the results are unfortunately not entirely in the child&rsquo;s control.&nbsp;
