Examophobia-the fear of exams, is supposed to give sleepless nights to all students. But, new observations have found that parents are the ones in danger of examophobia. Tension, nervousness and insomnia have become persistent problems of students' parents. It is somewhat unfathomable, isn't it? Lets try to analyse what exactly is happening to our parents.
When we analyse as to why examophobia is troubling parents, we find the cause as excessive worrying by parents. Today's competitive world has made parents wish that their kids must excel in everything they do, every time. This situation stems from the desire of parents that their wards must see success in this cut-throat world. Other than this I see no cause behind parental stress during exams. On discussing with several children in the school, I was astonished by the fact that almost every kid is stressed during exams - not because they are afraid of exams, but because their parents are stressed and nervous, so are they.
The observations that I made are very disturbing. Examophobia in parents will hamper their children's success. It is urged that parents should try to take it easy and not worry too much about examination results. Even if the exam is the Board Exam- the grand, grand examination, be relaxed for, at the end of the day, it is still an exam, - nothing more.
