Education is of prime importance in the
life of an individual. However, the way we impart education amongst young
children is not the ideal way. If you look around you will find that most of
the time the students have extremely stressed out thanks
to their overburdened syllabus, homework, and project work. Some of the top schools
in Faridabad and elsewhere spend a
lot of their time in identifying the level of stress on the students and how to
reduce it. In this blog, we have shared with you some of the best examples of
identifying stress and minimizing it that the best schools in the NIT Faridabad prescribes to the students. While most of the examples we have
taken care of the schools in NIT are applicable for any
student.
Some of the important signals through which
you can identify that students are under stress are as follows.
- · A drastic decline in the academic performance of a student.
- · Unnatural mental exhaustion of the student.
- · Very low in motivation.
- · Finding it hard to focus on the task at hand completely.
- · Feeling of lethargy all the time.
- · A low immune system.
How
students should deal with such a situation?
1). Educate the students
about the danger of procrastination: Most of the time, the extreme stress that some
students feel while studying is due to the accumulation of homework or studies
which they have postponed earlier. Everybody loves to play and enjoy the time,
but students must understand that the small amount of work that they want to do
later piles up quickly. And during the exam times, the problem of the
unfinished syllabus due to their past procrastination leads to pressure and
stress. It increases their anxiety about how it will affect their performance.
2). Ask
the students to take regular breaks: Students during the exam time, try
to cram as much possible to do well in their exams. This leads to long study
hours which can affect their performance thanks to the work overload. Studying
at a stretch can have a serious implication on the mental as well as physical
health leading to study burn out. Therefore, the school should advise the
students to take small breaks when they are studying for a long stretch to
avoid any study overload. It is important that in the break the students should
revitalize their system by taking a small snack, organizing their study space,
meditate or take a power nap.
3). Exercise
regularly: If
a student is physically fit, then he/she can take more mental pressure. They
should, therefore, exercise regularly for at least 30 minutes. Research has
shown that if anyone regularly exercises, then their stress level will decrease
as a large amount of dopamine is released during extensive physical workout.
This chemical is extremely important to cope with stress and anxiety levels as
well as improving work efficiency significantly.
4). Have
an active social life: Active involvement with
friends or family members is extremely important to deal with extreme stress.
If you are pressed for time, it may seem impossible to take out some extra time
for socializing, but if you can manage it (small doses), then it can be of
immense help in the long run.
5). Take
expert advice: If you have
student councilor and you are feeling that your stress level is going out of
control, then it is advisable to reach out to them. As the student counselors
are experts in their field, they will be able to guide you better than anyway person.
Conclusion: It is important that students,
teachers, parents, and student counselors should take the early warning of
stress related to studying very seriously. It will give them and head start of
dealing with the situation when it is at the nascent stage and it has not
harmed adversely.
