Hello Doctor,
My daughter presently is in Std. 10th, she is a responsible person, she studies and scores around 75% and the same in 9th Std. The first unit test of Std.10th was not so good to her as she scored less marks in two subjects (around 6 and 7 out of 20). I asked her what is going in her mind the she opened up stating that she has the fear of obtaining good marks while writing the paper. I told her that don't think of the marks, if you study, revise well and calmly answer the paper without any hurry then definitely you will score good.
However, nowadays, my husband always scolds her to study, study or talk to her that there is no use of studying you, what will happen to you, all negativity and she is in depression and told me that I feel to die. I convinced her not to think like that and to ignore her father talks and concentrate on your studies and told that I am there with you always.
I require your guidance how can I keep her positive in her minds with positive vibes as she gets irritated with the situation my husband creates.
Thanking you
Regards,
MS
Ans: The fear of failure during exams might be not letting her perform in the exam.
You can convince her and explain that it's not important how much she scores ,it's about evolving herself each day and do better than what she did previously.
