How many of us have dreaded the day of the results? Well, no matter how good (or bad) we were, there would have been at least one instance in each of our lives when we waited with bated breath for the results – sometimes in anticipation of the failure otherwise with the fear of not getting what we expect. It seems that student psyche has not changed much, and our children today face the same ailments that we, their parents faced during our school days. But what happens once the results are out? How do you move on with success or failure? Read on for a few insights on this tricky matter.
Success Vs Failure
At the end of the day, there are only two outcomes. You achieve success (you feel content with your results), or you fail (you feel unhappy with your results). Both these situations should be dealt with carefully.
Success is good, right? It most certainly is. But it also brings with it the risk of becoming complacent. This is something that we must very cautiously keep our children away from. Congratulate them for their good result but also nudge them to look forward and prepare themselves for the upcoming academic year and other challenges that lay ahead.
What happens when your child gets bad results? Criticism might very well be called for but make sure that you do not overdo it. Help your child learn from his failure and train him to not repeat the same mistakes again. It is the failures that can serve as the best teachers. But as parents, make sure that your kids take failures in a healthy manner and that they don’t feel defeated.
Dissecting the result
The analysis gives us a good deal of insight. The exam result should be used as an indicator of your child’s present academic qualities and be subjected to an efficient scrutiny. Find out where your child lags behind. At the same time, you should also invest some time in determining the areas in which he is strong. A clear idea of strengths and weaknesses will be beneficial while preparing for the subsequent examinations that your child has to take.
Investing more time on the weaknesses
Once you get a picture of the realities, you can begin charting out plans along with your child to combat the weaknesses that he is facing in the academic sphere. Spending a bit of extra time on subjects in which your child is weak, getting your child admitted for tuitions for those subjects, using online video tools and revisiting the basics of the subject are some of the steps that can be used here. Talking about online learning, we would recommend you to check our P1-PSLE-‘O’ Level online learning platform. The online video sessions from experienced faculty, timely assessments and the ability to replay videos make for an immersive learning experience.
How to deal with the positives
You would also be able to find out the areas in which your child is showing great promise. Sometimes while analysing the results you might unearth some exceptional qualities within your child. These might be subjects in which he is really interested in as well. You can take steps to enrich your child’s knowledge in these areas. You can even get him acquainted with aspects that are above his prescribed school syllabus and introduce to him the career prospects available with these subjects.
The examination results should not be seen exclusively as an indicator of success or failure. They should be seen as indicators of your child’s current capabilities and must be used to bring about suitable changes in the way your kids go about their academics.
