Q: My nine-year-old son has no problems learning whatever I teach him at home, but he does not answer all questions during exams / tests. He is able to write everything at home, but leaves out questions in exams. How do I deal with him?
A:Your son seems to be very anxious about exams and tests. You have to help him relax and not worry if he does not do well. Your expectations may be making him more anxious.
