Counsellor’s advisory for parents and students:
For Students:
- Check results with parents and close friends-not alone. Or, ask your teacher or school counsellor to check them and inform you.
- If you have negative thoughts, talk about them to loved ones
- On the result day, stick to your regular routine.
For parents:
- Share your anguish with other parents
- Don’t voice your expectations
- Avoid percentage-dependant rewards
- Don’t blame yourself or your child if anything goes wrong with the result.
