If a student seems overwhelmed or stressed during the exam period, communication can be one of the biggest challenges. Starting the conversation with open-ended questions helps them get a safe space for themselves to talk as freely as possible.&nbsp;
&lsquo;Say the things that you&rsquo;ve noticed, like &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve noticed you haven&rsquo;t been enjoying your volleyball training as much&rdquo; or &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve noticed that you haven&rsquo;t left your room in a couple of days &ndash; what&rsquo;s going on, is everything alright?&rdquo; Sometimes identifying what you&rsquo;ve noticed can give your child permission to open up about it.
Parents often underestimate their own potential and skills to lift up their child&rsquo;s confidence. Just a simple reminder around , &lsquo;Telling your child you are proud of them &ndash; that you&rsquo;re so impressed with what they&rsquo;ve already achieved, that their marks are not indicative of their potential or future success &ndash; can make such a big difference.

The family social capital needs to be very strong during the exam season. It includes a family's social relationships, values, and norms, which can be positively or negatively related to children's physical and mental health. Trust and open lines of communication are the two most important elements of the family social capital as it helps create an effective environment for the student to perform well academically.&nbsp;
It is critical to remain available for your child; to have timely discussions with your child when necessary, to listen without judgment, and to offer encouragement. One key support is asking questions to get the child to think about how they are studying - what they are finding difficult- and how they plan to study. Allow the child to drive the needed support.
Set aside time for regular interactions; at the dinner table or by planning some recreational activity. This will help in increased and improved interaction as well as helps the student to take frequent breaks between studying. This also helps them to re- energise. Continuously studying for extended periods of time will tire out the brain and decrease its ability to retain knowledge.&nbsp;

Avoid arguments at home as much as possible; and help your child focus on the most important task at hand&nbsp; in a stress- free environment.&nbsp;
There should be healthy communication between you and your child. Be an attentive listener and try to resolve any possible query or problem your child may have. Your child&rsquo;s point of view on any subject must never be disregarded.&nbsp; This will not only keep your child motivated but also improve her reasoning and problem-solving skills.&nbsp;

Exam time is a serious time in every student's household. Children care about studying well and scoring good marks; the parents are behind their kids to help them study well and score better marks. So naturally, at this time of the year, it's not unusual for some students to lose motivation or feel overwhelmed by the pressure of exams.
