Families should engage in proactive conversations to support candidates preparing for the UPSC exam, focusing on their aspirations and pressures. Discussing study schedules can help ensure candidates maintain a balanced routine, preventing burnout. It’s crucial for families to encourage a positive mindset by recognizing achievements, no matter how small, which helps build confidence. Providing a supportive atmosphere for stress relief and discussion about emotional challenges can also alleviate pressure. Moreover, initiating conversations around current affairs and topic discussions can spark intellectual engagement, ultimately enriching candidates' preparation experiences and personal growth.
