I suppose both my girls have anxiety issues when it comes to exams. Che-che also hates it when she has to go for piano exams, clams up and ..... If only there's no examinations they often tell me. But it's really not possible, there's always a form of test everywhere we go, even for job interviews!
When lil' one brought up to me that she's nervous during examinations and then she forgets what she's learnt I started to panic myself. OMG! Her finals are approaching soon. Though I usually complain that she talks alot, I'm glad that she shared this with me. Che-che doesn't tell me anything coz she likes to keep everything to herself. Silence doesn't mean everything is well with her, I'm sure she must be anxious often too coz when I tried to calm lil' one, she overheard and commented "you think it's so easy to calm down? To not feel anxious?" Honestly, she isn't wrong. Her mother has anxiety issues too! Even up to this date. There is a reason too why I tend to be over anxious when I have too many things on my plate; there's a reason too why I know I cannot multi-task if I need to do serious studying and being a homemaker. There's a reason too when I set too high a standard on myself and I get anxious when I fail or underperformed in my task.
I used to have tension headaches before exams. The doctor will always give me ponstan and antacid coz panadol won't help me anymore. I perform better in school during normal school work but results shows a slight difference.
Yes, supporting mental health is important. Afterall, I wouldn't want healthy children to suddenly have a crack and go berserk. The RGS neighbour is a good example, really sad.
Unfortunately in this society where people still judge salary earned equals to success, sometimes as parents we also wish our kids can do well for themselves.
