How Not to Screw Up Your Kids

Navigating Exam Stress


Listen Later

From the 8 Plus to A-Levels, exams can be a stressful experience… often as much for you, the parent, as the kids.


You want the best for them, and of course you want them to do well, but it’s important to make sure we create a supportive environment, and not inadvertently add to the pressure.


That’s why, in this important episode, I’m going to talk you through the dos and do nots of navigating exam season, and give you a bunch of super practical advice, which you can use right away.


So pour yourself a cuppa, find a comfy seat, and enjoy the conversation…
