Academic Anxiety In Children How To Handle It
Sep 09, 2022, 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
When talking about academic anxiety, every student at some point in their life experiences stress when they are in school away from the comfort of their homes and parents. Academic anxiety is experienced when a child experiences the symptoms of stress, panic attacks, and tension as a result of schoolwork or stress revolving around studies, classmates, and teachers. And if this academic anxiety is not tackled rightly, then it can impact the overall growth and development of the child. Furthermore, academic anxiety turns out to be true for kids who are starting at a new school or are already anxious about being away from parents. This anxiety fades for most kids as the school year goes on, but parents can help them get off to a good start. Adolescents are practically defined by their growth and changes, internally and externally, so we’d expect them to experience a range of anxiety and stress.So when we’re talking about academic anxiety, we’re not talking about the healthy and natural levels of anxiety that should exist in schools. Instead, we’re talking about a level of anxiety that’s not only affecting our students’ academic performance but also their overall well-being.

Namaste Madam! My daughter is 13 years old now. She has no confidence in herself and is not giving her best in academics . She keeps comparing herself with others and says she is not as good as her agemates and says "number to aane nahi Wale, why should I even study". She is gradually losing hope and doens't even attempt sample test papers due to the fear of securing poor marks. How can I motivate her to give her 100 per cent in academics and otherwise in life as well? Thanks in advance!!
