Listen Later

Listen to this Whinypaluza Wednesday Live vlog episode with The Greene Family! An extension of the weekly blog, join Rebecca and her family on the live vlog, brought to you here in case you missed it last week!

Here is what to expect on this week’s show:

  • The end of the school year often means TESTING! Does it create anxiety and tension in your kids?
  • What are your thoughts on testing and cumulative exams?
  • What if your child is not a “good test taker?” Is it a fair assessment of what they have learned?
  • For exams, remind your child they know how to take a test.
  • To alleviate anxiety, coming up with a good plan of how and when to study is a great start. Do they know how to study and do they have a plan? Do they need help?
  • Are the schools adequately preparing your child for how to study in general?
  • What are some great tools for effective studying?
  • Remind your child to take their time and review their answers carefully.
  • What are some methods to physically calm your child during a test?
  • Remind your child that this test does not define who they are as a student, or the ultimate trajectory of their lives.
  • Remind your kids and yourself that this is still a learning process, especially at a younger age.
  • For AP classes, remind your child it isn’t the end of the world if they don’t get the college credit.
