An episode all about GCSE results day 2024!

It has been a while!

I am so sorry - life has caught up with me but now I am back!

Let's look into a deep dive of current research and findings from the UK select committee on the effects of screen time and what it means for our kids!

I have been toying with the idea about speaking up on this but I think it is time. I have read enough posts to know that this year's year 11's are probably one of the most let down by our education system but also by Covid and the impacts on this. 

I will be covering topics such as depression, anxiety, phone addiction and it may not be the best for your teen to hear this one until after the exams. 

 Today we will be going through quite a bit!

Establishing a Motivational Routine

 Mastering the Art of Taking Breaks

 Shaping Your Revision Strategy

How Parents Can Support Teenagers

Overcoming Procrastination

 Maintaining Motivation Through Challenges

I hope you enjoy it and it helps you and your teen!

Throughout this episode I unpick a range of different youtubers and why they are great for helping you fill in the gaps!

So you have just finished your mocks ... and now you have 7 weeks left! 

It feels like it is never going to end ... so here is a podcast to set you up for the next 7 weeks!

Did you know it takes ten thousand hours to become an expert in anything? Well today, I talk about how you can use this concept to become great at anything. I also give some practical advice to parents about how they can help their children on a path to be great ... whatever that looks like (and it can look different for everyone!)

In today's episode we will be talking about the importance of counting down whilst also managing stress - its a short one aimed at those sitting exams to get you ready!

In today's podcast I talk about positive self talk and how self talk can either support or hinder your growth. I am not just going to be talking about academic growth but also growth as a person ... 

In today's episode I delve into what it means to be overwhelmed and how to deal with being overwhelmed. It can happen to anyone and often does happen to teenagers (and their parents) around this time of year. 

So hopefully this episode will help to extrapolate it and also help you with how to manage feeling overwhlemed.
