Advice to Parents
During the release of the PSLE results, parents should not be too harsh on their child even if the results are not up to your expectations. Even if your child has a top grade, you should not “over-praise” your child. Why? Don’t pump negative feelings or ego into your child, nothing good will come out if it.
Too many negative actions or comments on the child will affect a child’s development and self-confidence over time. When your child is not doing really well, give them encouragement and tell them to work harder in the future.
Praising is good but too much praise will result in the child being overconfident in the future and pumping into their ego and might affect the child’s social skill development. A study in 2015 by Ohio State University states that too much praise turns a child into Narcissist.
We only hope for the best in the children’s future, please do not pressure your children before any tragedy happens, whenever there is a major result release, both children and parents are pressured. Children under pressure might lead to children doing stupid things.
Stay calm and be an understanding and supportive parents.
