First i will say my parents never punished me when i failed an exam,even though i rarely did badly.
But is there anyone who was punished when you didn't do well in your exams in your childhood?
I don't like this kind of behavior,and i won't do this to my child in future.
Will you punish your child when he failed his exams,or other things?

Hi No I would never punish a child for not doing well and failing their exams what they would need is understanding and compassion and encouragement to try again if they want to. Parents should have acceptance not rule with an iron rod if their siblings do have any failings. None of us are perfect. Ellie :D

Hi liuqian
I have three boys aged 3, 5 and 7 and although they are not yet of an age where they would be taking exams I still have a view on this. I would never punish them if they failed their exams especially if they have done their best. Sometimes we just see that exam paper and our minds go blank and who could punish someone if that happens? Of course I would be disappointed but that is not a good enough reason to punish my children for failing they too have to live with their own disappointment!

Hi,thanks for your response.I also do not support this behavior.Parents should treat their children like friends.And you are right,they will feel disappointed first when they know they failed.They know they have to work harder by themselves.
I'm sure you are a good parent.^^
Have a nice day!
