Education, Exams & Grades - Are We Measuring The Right Things?

In this deeply honest episode of The Safe Space with Binny, licensed clinical psychologist Binny Brahmbhatt Sharma unpacks one of the most uncomfortable truths facing parents today — that our education system may be producing stress, not success. Drawing on nearly a decade of work with adolescents, Binny explores why teens are statistically more stressed than adults, what's really behind dropping grades (hint: it's rarely about the child), and how shifting from a performance mindset to a curiosity-led one can transform your child's relationship with learning.From the neuroscience of the teenage brain to the quiet damage of grade comparisons and Facebook announcements, this episode is a compassionate reset for every parent navigating exam season. You'll leave with a clearer understanding of what exams are actually for — and why your belief in your child might be the most powerful study tool they have.🔗 Take the VARK Learning Styles Quiz mentioned in this episode to discover how your child learns best: vark-learn.com
