Understanding Board Exams vs. Competitive Exams


Author begins by addressing the critical differences between board exams and competitive exams. She explains how structured routines and limited resources shape board exam preparation, while competitive exams demand adaptability, strategic thinking, and the ability to handle unlimited resources. Key topics include understanding theory-based tests versus multiple-choice questions, the importance of avoiding negative marking, and the difference between percentages and percentiles. This section helps students and parents set realistic expectations and tailor their preparation strategies accordingly.


Building Learning Habits in Children


The book emphasizes the importance of cultivating strong learning habits from an early age. Author Dr. Kanchan Kabra outlines age-specific strategies, starting with grounding work for children aged 2-5, where natural growth and curiosity are nurtured. For children in 1st to 5th grade, the focus shifts to building discipline and setting boundaries. Middle school (6th to 8th grade) is about understanding, processing, and expressing ideas in their own words. High school students (9th to 12th grade) learn to build stamina, delay gratification, and develop problem-solving skills. These foundational habits prepare students for academic challenges and lifelong learning.


Discovering Your Child’s Unique Personality

Author introduces the concept of personality development using the Enneagram, a powerful tool for understanding individual traits. She explains how parents can identify their child’s personality type and use this knowledge to foster growth. The Enneagram helps parents tailor their approach to mentoring, ensuring that each child’s unique strengths and challenges are addressed effectively. This section also includes personal anecdotes from Dr. Kabra, illustrating how the Enneagram transformed her own parenting and teaching methods.


How to Stop Worrying and Start Helping is more than just a book - it’s a movement toward holistic education and personal growth. Dr. Kanchan Kabra’s insights, combined with actionable strategies and real-life examples, make this guide an indispensable resource for anyone involved in the journey of learning.
