Whoa, this must be the quietest weekend in a long while. True, my kids are the quiet type, even when they were little, they never run around the shopping mall or jump on the furniture or scream and fight with each other.
Still, this is a very quiet weekend even by our standards. All my three kids are in exam mode which means everyone is supposed to be doing their own revision with minimum social interaction. I check in on them periodically but for the most part, they’re on their own.
Kids these days are very different from us in our time. I used to get more panicky as the exam date drew near. But these kids, they’re counting down the days, they just can’t wait for the exams to come and be over and done with.
But just between you and me, I’m the most nervous one of all. My two older ones tell me I’m such a worrier and that it’s all going to be a breeze. Yeah, if I can honestly believe that because when I was preparing for my exams during my time, I was nervous as heck!




















Your kids are the quiet type? ALL of them? How did you manage that? LOL
I never got nervous for tests, either – I think this is a personality thing, since I’m fairly mellow. Well, outwardly anyway. Some people get so nervous for tests that their performance is never as good as what they can really do.
Your kids will perform better on the tests from not being nervous! Be glad that they are good testers – they’ll be more successful in college & beyond.
You’re absolutely right, of course, they do much better in their exams than I ever did
