Pariksha Pe Charcha: PM Modi Urges Parents to stop 'Running Commentary' on Students' Performance
Pariksha Pe Charcha: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has emphasized the importance of parents avoiding a "running commentary" on their children's academic performance during the seventh edition of 'Pariksha Pe Charcha,' an interactive program aimed at easing exam stress for students. Addressing the students, PM Modi advised parents against comparing their children's achievements with those of their friends or siblings, stating that such comparisons can negatively impact a child's future. He highlighted the self-imposed pressure students often face, urging a more balanced approach to studying without excessive stress. During the interaction, the Prime Minister acknowledged the role parents play in exacerbating stress by setting unrealistic expectations, particularly during exam periods. He stressed the need for open and supportive conversations with students rather than resorting to detrimental comparisons.
