We asked mums in our office how they are feeling now that ‘D day’ is just around the corner. This is what they had to say:

Pavin shares candidly- "My son is pretty cool and collected, while my niece is freaking out! Guess girls take to stress differently. I just hope for the best for him. At the end of the day, I know he tried his best. But naturally, some panic bells have gone off in my head (since the day is nearing)!"

Dave, our usually cool-headed dad wasn't so relaxed. He thinks PSLE exams are very crucial for the path leading to his kid's future. He hopes his daughter's hard work pays off (and all the tuition fees he spent on for the year)!

Susie also feels that PSLE is a "very high stakes" exam. Her daughter worked very hard for it, catching up on sleep during car rides from one enrichment class to another. "The stress is felt in the entire household- from parents, to kid, to siblings, and even my maid is praying for her."

PSLE results stress does tend to take its toll on some children, but this can easily be managed by parents offering them ample support and unconditional love. Just being there for your kids, through ups and downs- that's what parenting is all about, isn't it?

theAsianparent sends our best wishes to students who have courageously taken this examination!
