If your children are studying in the Kenyan school curriculum, then you know that exam season is around the corner.  This can be a very stressful time for kids. They are well aware that mum and dad have high expectations from them. Here's how to help your little one Ace that test.
Prepare a practice exam.
Look for practice exams easily available from bookstores country wide.  You can use these to refresh your child's memory of questions that might be asked during their test. You can also create your own by checking your child's notes and textbooks.
Create fun study aids.
Study aids can help your child remember information well. For example, flash cards and mathematical tables.  They can help you out in making these.
Study with them.
Being there for your child while they're studying will make them feel more confident and will make them stick to the goal. Schedule consistent study times weeks before their exam and stick to it.
Give them a conducive place for studying.
It's important for your child to have a quiet study area away from distractions such as TV and gadgets and meddling siblings/pets.
Give them a break.
Don't burn your child out by making them study the whole time. Give them a short break to eat snacks or rest a bit. Let them pursue their regular activities and hobbies so they won't be overwhelmed. Just ensure that they are present on their scheduled study time.
Most importantly, tell them that you believe in their abilities. No pressure.
