The most stressful time for any parent is the exam time of their children. Thank god I am done with that phase of life; it was so nerve wrecking for me. More than my son, I would be worried about his exams and would get super hyper, days in advance. I am not that parent who would want my child to score very high marks or have some unrealistic expectations from him. I was ok with any marks that he would get. In his case he was brilliant in his studies and never really gave me any trouble during his studies all through out.

In his case there were times when I had to tell him to stop and relax because he would over do it. If his teacher would ask him to practice 10 sums in maths, he would end up practicing 50. And even though he being such a studious child I would get anxieties during his exam time. I would make it a point to sit with him till late night when he would study. I just felt that this would give him moral support.

I think as a parent it is very important to be a integral part of their children during these phases, it means a lot for them. My Son would never ask me to sit with him, but I knew that he did like it when I would be with him, and there was always a comfort level between us, so if I would be very tired on any particular day and go off to sleep then sometime he would wake me up at night if he would feel hungry.

This was the main reason why I would want to be with him, because at night if he would feel hungry then I would want to make some food for him to eat and be comfortable with his studies. The growing up phase of a child with their parent is a connection at deep mental and emotional level and as a parent it becomes utmost important to take care of our children's mental and emotional needs. It goes a long way with them when they grow up.

Busy working parents get help for their children to do everything for them, it is convenient but in the bargain they miss to build that connection. In my case, I never taught my Son, I always had tuition teachers for him but I would always sit with him together and be a part of his studies. I personally feel that as parents, specially the mothers have to always have their children's need as the top most priority and nothing can be more important then that.

As a working parent it was difficult but when it would be anything for him, I would not want to compromise and I am glad because today I can see the result of all those efforts. The bonding between us is truly amazing. He is 28 now, where most of the children get distanced out from their parents and have their own life, but in his case, even though he has his own life now, we are very much part of it in everything and so is he in our life.
