After your child's exams, do you give comments or ask questions about it?

A child will always love being rewarded so it is really a brilliant idea to bring our children to the mall or any place they enjoy after their exams. Asking them questions or should I say reviewing them takes place before the exam. Do every thing to help them cope with the exam but after the exam they should not be burdened with questions anymore, they should be given a good time to rest their mind by going to enjoyable places. This is the best way to balance their life. Not all studies but also fun and enjoyment. This is an old post but I find the topic very relevant and timely.

hey fulltank i think i'll try that! my second grader just finished his periodical exams and once i got home that's the first thing i'll ask. do you think he's being pressured by my questioning? he barely passed the exam for social studies and i feel bad for him (though he's unconcerned). i want to ask his teacher how do they make those questions so i can review my son better next time. do you think it's fine if i ask?

If I had a child at school age, I would care about what he/ she really learn from school more than the grades and the rank. After an exam, it'd better to ask how he/ she feel and encourrage him/her than comment on what happened, anyway we'll know the result sooner or later.

I think it's better to ask them about it. Not harass or interogate, but to ask- just mildly. Their response is helpful in understanding how they feel they are going in school and once the results come out, their primary thoughts and final thoughts about their exams is an indication of the expectation they set for themselves. of course, if they don't feel that did well or don't want to talk about it, then move on. I think a very brief talk about it is a good way of letting them know that you are interested in thier education and want them to do well, but at the same time aren't going to push too hard to force them to the top
