Question: How we should deal with expectations for class 10th and 12th students?
PM Modi: Think of the exam for that year only. It is not an exam of your life, one exam cannot stop your life. While talking with your parents have patience, be attentive while listening to them and keep in mind about asking their views. This will increase your communication with parents.
He urged parents not to bother your children with your ambitions which you could not complete in your life.
Question: How can I distress myself at the time of my child’s exam?
PM Modi: We have detached ourselves with our child after a specific time, start engaging with them and their activities. Observe their small activities and talk with them. Do not use report card of your child as a visiting card.
Question: How we should deal with students who are busy with mobile and computer games?
PM Modi: We can’t keep them away from technology, But this technology should not make him or her robot, it should not make their mind and views narrow. Try and utilise technology for expansion of their views. Be a friend of them and ask about daily routine questions regarding technology.
Try these habits to convert from ‘play stations to play the field’.
