Exam time is stressful for children as well as their parents. But, the role of grandparents during this taxing situation is highly underestimated.

According to Parents India Magazine, your kids' grandparents can help relieve some tension by keeping their cool amidst the panic, by being good study companions to the children and by teaching them the art of learning.

Thanks to their own experience, grandparents can make difficult subjects easier for kids by simplifying topics through examples, addressing their innate fears regarding the papers, and spending time with them.

Grandparents also provide psychological and emotional support.

Lastly, they can be the best of guides and teachers, and clear doubts which the kids may have amassed in the classroom.
