We’re talking about helping teens cope during exam time on the show this week.  What strategies do parents use to help them get through this challenging time? What needs do children have? How do parents manage their own stress? Is it possible to tutor your child? Should you reward your child for doing well at exams and school grades or perhaps just for effort and attitude?

Helping us discuss this in the studio is local GP, Dr. Harriet Strain, mother of 4 teenagers and very experienced at supporting teenagers through public exams.
