Five strokes to let children completely get rid of exam stage fright

Stage fright is a relatively common phenomenon that can occur in any exam setting, more so among elementary and middle school students. Stage fright is a transient psychological disorder that is caused by excessive emotional stress for various reasons. It is manifested by the inability to recall, reproduce or do again the material and actions that have been memorized and skilled. In severe cases, dizziness (commonly known as dizziness), dizziness, palpitations, nausea and other symptoms may occur, resulting in failure in the examination. The physiological cause of stage fright: is the emergence of a dominant excitation center in the cerebral cortex due to high emotional tension, and this dominant excitation center is inhibited in other parts of the cerebral cortex because of the law of induction-free, simply put, the nervous excitation center in the brain suppresses other places that should be excited. Therefore, the key to solving the problem of stage fright is to eliminate the interfering dominant excitatory center. Excessive stress in children is caused by excessive pressure, both external and self-induced. The pressure comes from parents who expect their children to become dragons and phoenixes and have very high expectations, and they turn their expectations into words and actions, constantly putting pressure on their children: “You must do well in the exams, and there are rewards for doing well.” “If you don’t do well on the exams, you’re no good.” “Parents’ hopes are all on you, if you don’t do well on the test, it’s all over.” “Exam is not good, come back to settle accounts with you” …… and in action focused on protection, prepare nutrition, brain tonic liquid, advanced drinks …… these words and actions become tangible and invisible pressure, concentrated to the child’s brain. Some schools and teachers use mobilization, achievement queues and even countdowns to motivate students to study hard and improve their grades. For students facing college entrance exams, this is a two-pronged approach that creates a tense atmosphere. This is very stressful for students. Pressure comes from the society As the society becomes more and more competitive, various exams become a hot topic for people. When family and friends see their children, they often ask, “How did you do in school and how many points did you get on the exam?” And often encourage a few words, “study well, the future of university entrance exams, as experts.” The child is not aware that these words of concern can become psychological pressure. If a child can correctly understand these pressures, self-regulation, pressure into motivation, the exam room is not chaotic, then, not only will not affect the results, may be better test. If a child, originally bad grades, and no confidence, to these pressures to hold indifferent attitude. Anyone how to say, I do my own way, the test will not see the improvement. The problem is that some children are very heavy-hearted, these “stones” are stacked one on top of the other in their heads, and they put pressure on themselves, self-expectations are also very high, but lack the strong will to regulate the highly nervous emotions. When it comes to exam time, the dominant excitement center becomes a serious source of interference, of course, the exam is not good. What can I do to make my child’s exams without stage fright? (A) to be from the parents expenses, do a good job of reducing stress. On the one hand, parents should not give their children too much mental pressure at ordinary times, do not blindly set too high targets for their children, not to reach how to how. In the approaching exams, especially do not talk about the exams every day mouth, because the more you talk, the more signals to stimulate the child to produce tension during the exams will be. On the other hand, it is not advisable to do too much material preparation and specific services for your child before and during the exam, such as buying a lot of nutritional products, like the protection of pandas everywhere service, these practices will add pressure to your child. It is okay to improve the diet, but not too much. (b) Guide your child to treat exams correctly and help him or her reduce self-pressure. The level of the child is objective, as long as the serious review, serious preparation for the test, can test their actual level on the line. Sometimes children do not know enough about their own level, self-expectations are too high, and even have a fluke mentality. Some children are always worried about making mistakes, so that they are nervous about entering the examination room, and once they see a familiar topic, their nervousness increases, leading to a series of mistakes. Parents should give their children less stress while allowing them to treat the exam correctly. The test is to test the level of learning, tell your child not to set too high an indicator for themselves, the test met unfamiliar topics is a normal phenomenon, for each student is possible. The victory or defeat is a common thing in the military, the effort is a good child. (3) Instruct your child to use the methods of “shifting attention” and “self-referral” to relieve his or her nervousness in the examination room. The reason for this is to temporarily force yourself to focus on something other than the test, so as to ease the tension. For example, when you are too nervous, listen carefully to the teacher’s lecture about the test, observe the teacher’s dress and expressions, and think about what interests you most for a short while to calm yourself down. Self-suggestion is to remind oneself internally: I am very calm, how smoothly I breathe, and how clear my mind is …… This repeated reminder also helps to relieve tension. (d) Instruct your child to clarify the procedures and requirements of his or her answer sheet in advance and do it step by step. The basic procedures and requirements are: 1, neatly write the name (sometimes write the school number, permit number), a stroke to help calm themselves; 2, look at the question, review the meaning of the question, a question a question order down to answer. The child who loves to be nervous should not read all the questions first, which will easily cause increased nervousness because of seeing an unfamiliar topic. When you encounter a question that you can’t answer, think about it carefully, and if you don’t get it, put it down for a while, so you don’t take up too much time, lest you lose time doing other questions that you can do. Will do after the questions are done, and then go back to do the problem. 3, double check, avoid missing errors. Big questions, difficult questions spend more time. Less time, ordinary topics can be looked at once, look at more key topics. Especially to check the front and back of the volume, do not have missed answers to the questions. This basic procedure and requirements, so that children usually quizzes and stage exams on the insistence to do, to develop a habit, the larger exams will naturally follow the procedures should be tested. (5) Instruct your child to prepare the utensils before the test and put them in a safer place. 1, some children just because the utensils are not ready, temporary found, increased tension. 2, in addition, before the examination let the child appropriate to participate in some cultural and sports activities, relaxation, to prevent stage fright is very good. 3, you can also drink a little before and during the exams, Banlangen, clear heat punch, chrysanthemum tea and other herbs to clear heat and lower fire, which is good for keeping the brain awake. 4, if the child exam stage fright is too serious, it is recommended to see a psychologist.
