Maintaining calm in EXAMS SEASON

PW invited parents from Inventure Academy, Bengaluru to share their insights on how they ensure their children remain calm during exam seasons

Exam seasons test more than just what my daughter Ezri Syed Rajendran (class VI) knows — it challenges her calm, balance, and confidence.

At home, I try to keep the atmosphere light and reassuring. We revise together on weekends, breaking lessons into manageable parts and celebrating progress instead of stressing over what remains. I’ve learned that calm doesn’t come from studying harder but from remaining connected with what makes her happy. For Ezri, that’s football. Even during exams, she refuses to miss practice — and I’ve acknowledged it as her best stress-reliever. The football field gives her freedom, balance, and confidence that carry into her studies. So I encourage it. It’s her reset button and a reminder that exams are only one part of life” — Tazeen Syeda, Director at Fidelity Investments
