UP Board Results 2025: When a child does not score well in the exam, it can be disappointing for both the student and his parents. Today, the Uttar Pradesh Board of Secondary Education released the results of class 10 and 12 board examinations. Today was a day of mixed emotions in many homes. While many students and their parents are celebrating, some feel that they could have done better. Children get frustrated when the exam results do not come as per their expectations and the parents of the student are more disappointed than them.

Parents and children feeling disappointed with low marks should understand that this is life. You will get countless opportunities in life, so know the reason why the marks are low so that you can try to do better in the future. Let us know why a student gets low marks in the exam and how parents can reduce the disappointment of children whose exam results are not as per their expectations so that the child is encouraged to do better.
Study habits and preparation
It is possible that the child's study method is not so effective. While some children memorize lessons by merely reading or explaining, some students need to write or discuss things to remember them. The child is good at studying, but if he tries to memorize the lessons instead of revising in the last days of the exam, then he is not able to answer the exam more effectively. It can be said that one of the reasons for low marks in the exam is not preparing properly before the exam.
Time management
Preparation should be done by giving enough time for each subject. Although your child may have taken more time to study the weak subject he has not focused much on other subjects. Apart from this, even if the child is involved in extracurricular activities, he may have to struggle to find enough time to study.
Exam anxiety and stress
Due to the expectations of parents and pressure from teachers, the child becomes anxious about the exam, which can affect his exam performance. Due to pressure and anxiety, the child gets headaches, stomach aches, or is unable to concentrate during the exam. Many times, even though they know the question paper, they are unable to give better answers.
Health
During the exam, the child studies day and night under the pressure of getting good marks. Sometimes they do not get enough sleep, which can cause ill health. It may be difficult to concentrate and remember the lesson. Poor nutrition or dehydration can also affect concentration and energy levels. Regular physical activity enhances brain function, while a sedentary lifestyle can hinder it.
Distractions
Studying in a noisy or distracting environment can reduce the effectiveness of studies. Lack of access to necessary study material or a quiet place can hamper preparation. It is possible that when your child is studying, he may not have a calm and focused environment.
How to handle a child when he gets low marks or fails

If your child has failed the UP Board exam result or has not been able to get the desired marks, then from here the responsibility of the parents starts. Instead of scolding or comparing the child, encourage him. Increase their confidence.
If the child gets low marks or fails, parents should take care not to give negative feedback to the child. Appreciate their hard work and efforts.
Assure the child that he can be successful in the future. While trying to increase their confidence, tell them that you have faith in their abilities.
Even if the child has got low marks or failed the exam, celebrate to improve the child's mood. This celebration should be for his efforts.
Do not get disappointed in front of the child. Your being sad or disappointed will have a direct impact on the child's mind and he may go towards more negativity.
