Yep. I always tell my son that he will be rewarded for effort put in, not just for the exam marks.

I would examine what went wrong and discuss possible solutions with child.

me too ... the effort put in is more important.
For me, result is used to find the 'weakness' points and find ways to strengthened that.
I found that with this approach, the child is less stressful - more interested in performing well (aka giving the best effort) rather than the exam marks.
I remember reading a story (i think on the net) about a child that did not return home after getting his result because his marks is not that good and is afraid his parents will scold him. Very sad ... -

I hear of many cases, of children being scolded/punished for not scoring high marks for the SA exams. I feel that most parents should ask themselves "Could I have done any better, at their age?".

Me too, no shame in that. :lol: That's the major reason why I'm on this board - to learn from some kind parents on how to tackle some of those confounding math questions. :?watmekiasu:

as long as he had tried his hardest. Having good results is a bonus.
of course deep down I would be a bit disapointed if he had tried his hardest and yet failed to achieve good results.
on the flip side, I would be very disapointed but secretly proud if he had not put in any effort and had achieved very good results.
