A Parent's Guide to Exam Stress

The ultimate guide to why so many children experience problematic levels of stress at school today, and what we - as parents - can do to understand and support them at home. Katharine Radice draws on her training in child and adolescent development and 20+ years teaching in the classroom to provide you with practical advice, valuable insights and effective strategies to support your child through exams and assessments from KS3 to A level. The teenage years are a swirl of trying to find an identity surrounded by other people''s expectations, so it''s no wonder pupils are feeling the pressure. It''s well known that teenage anxiety seems to be on the rise and it''s visibly present in classrooms today, especially during exams and assessments. As parents, the challenge is this: is the pressure on your child healthy or not? And if it''s not healthy, what can we do about it? The Parent''s Guide to Exam Stress includes voices of students, teachers and mental health professionals, all giving their take on what the exam experience can be like for teenagers today. You will learn how to open up the difficult conversations, how to understand where your child is coming from, and how to help pave the way for your child to feel motivated, prepared and ready for their exams.
