To overcome the above situation,the children should prepare systematically with total dedication and face examinations with confidence, without worrying about the results while they are writing the answers.

More over some kids are also afraid of exams because they are not well prepared for the test or they lack confidence.

By saying this kind of words give kids support in preparing for the examination by helping her in studying and make her feel comfortable if she is not in a position to learn anything while preparing for the exams. Sometimes difficult lessons or subject keeps them awake the whole night and the result is a failure and anxiety level increase which may lead to depression. So always be with them. Encourage them by saying life is a challenge, be a learner, failure makes you know that you lack somewhere in learning the concepts.

To get rid of Exam phobia to that matter any phobia ,expose them directly to to the cause i.e, assure them with love that the sky is not going to fall if they fails.Assure her even if she submits a blank paper that you are not going to be annoyed or punish them.Parents should not intimidate the children in any form. Once they tastes the sweetness in success no one can stop them. You as the parent/teacher should be prepared for the worst until they gains their normal self. try it.
