How to Stop Obsessing Over Good Grades – Make Learning Fun & Interesting!

The constant pressure for achieving good grades has put many students in a tight spot. The primary purpose of education is to prepare a child to face many challenges in life. During the course, we often see that children undergo stress over getting good grades. Of course, getting good grades is valued, but obsessing about these grades will have many negative impacts on a student's mind. The most dangerous effect on crippling minds is fear of failure.

Tips to Stop Obsessing Over Grades and To Re-Experience Love for Learning

 Obsessing over top grades can make students agitated and fearful. These emotions, in turn, leads to many mental and physical health problems. The pressure from fellow peers, teachers, and primarily from parents can stress the child. This rat race needs to stop,and students should stop declaring war against studies.

There are a few ways to cope with obsession. Few of them are: -

1.      Draw a big picture: -encouraging kids to see life to the fullest is essential. Quoting examples of achievers who are college drop out yet achieved massive success in life can motivate them.

Everybody knows that Mark Zuckerberg dropped out of college to focus on his business Facebook, which is a humongous success. This example proves that college and good grades are not always necessary to achieve dreams.

 Improve creativity: - Students, especially in India, are tuned in a way to focus on textbook studies. The monotonous research can make your brain dull. Thinking out of the box enables the child to open up new dimensions. Encouraging your child to be unique is a good thing. Crafting your child's mind to be independent is essential.

 Give time to extracurricular activities: Taking up hobbies and studies will help in the child's overall development. For example, learning a sport will increase muscle and brainpower. Extracurricular activities are equally important. Taking the quote, "All work no play makes jack dull boy "seriously will help in the child's holistic development. There are many activities like painting, dancing, reading, etc. which will help in the overall growth of a child, making learning fun. Clubbing hobbies with learning is entertaining and, at the same time educating. A child can be very good at drawing; therefore, its parent's and teacher's duty to identify the talent and nurture the child accordingly.

 Seeking proper guidance: - Learning is fun when you make it fun! Having a perspective in life, and a sense of contentment will boost the potential of the student. Having the right people to give suggestions is necessary for a positive growth process. Choosing a guide or a mentor can boost the confidence of the child. Having someone to talk to will lift the burden of the shoulders. It can be a professor, friend, or a confidant. A student should be able to seek inspiration for a mentor. Grades do not define the character of the person. Remembering this and enjoying life and learning new things is essential.
