Psychologist Dr. Neera Singh.
Jagran correspondent, Lucknow. Board exam stress can be reduced to a great extent by adopting the right strategy. Now not only studying for hours is the key to success, but balanced routine, mental strength and smart study techniques have also become equally important. Instead of studying continuously for many hours, study in small sessions and take breaks in between. This keeps the mind fresh and improves memory.
On Friday, psychologist Dr. Neera Singh answered the questions of the students as well as the parents in the help desk established to remove the mental stress of the students in the UP Board examinations.
Question: Is it okay to use mobile phone during board exams or not? My mother snatches my mobile phone, is it okay? -Raman Gupta, Hardoi.
If you use mobile phone while studying, your concentration will be disturbed. You will not remember what you read. In such a situation, you need to distance yourself from the phone. As far as parents are concerned, I would like to tell them that instead of snatching it away, explain to them that the phone will hinder your studies. They will be furious if snatched away and then they will not feel like studying.
Q. Parents ask me to study again and again to get good marks without exams, stop me to play, because of this I do not feel like studying, what to do? -Rahul Kumar, Unnao.
Marks, competition and parents' expectations sometimes become the cause of mental pressure. Parents should avoid this. Everyone needs to avoid comparing themselves to others, doing so reduces their morale. You will also have to play less, only then you will get good marks.
Q. How to overcome mental fatigue?
It is natural to get mental fatigue after studying for a long time. In such a situation, you can do deep breathing techniques, meditation and light yoga. Pranayama of 10 to 15 minutes daily gives mental peace and increases self-confidence.
Q. I have an only son, he studies less, I have started feeling irritable, I have started shouting at the child, how to stop this? - Madhuri Sabharwal, Rae Bareli.
The role of parents is also important in the examination. Instead of putting too much pressure on children, encourage them. Positive conversation and emotional support strengthens the self-confidence of children. You should encourage the child along with yourself. Irritability will reduce and the mind will remain calm. Always keep an eye on your son.
Keep these things in mind
