There can be so much pressure on your teen to perform well in exams. One way to reduce that pressure is to encourage your child to focus on realistic goals of their own, rather than to compare themselves critically to their peers. This applies both to the amount of revision they are doing and to the results they feel they should get. If they are struggling, focussing primarily on the core subjects (maths, English, science) as well as one or two others they enjoy, may reduce stress and allow them to progress to their intended next steps.

Reassure your child that exam results do not define them; that they are far from the only measure of success; and that you are proud of them whatever happens on results day.

My 14yr old son went to a counselling session yesterday..

on the way he said to me..

“So let me get this straight, we are driving to somewhere we haven’t been before.. to see someone we have never met.. and you want me tell him all my deepest thoughts… and you are paying him to take me into his little cabin for an hour alone… Are you ok mum?”

I started laughing..

I mean he is right.. it isn’t the kids who are weird.. 😂😂

When we wonder why people don’t want to do things.. and call them refusers.. or avoidant.. we should try to really clarify in our own mind WHAT it actually is we are suggesting and how their brain may hear the plans..

I obviously knew all the reasons why we were safe and this guy was the absolute right person.. I just forgot to bloody well communicate it to my child.

Consider what we do for example when we tell a child being traumatised by school to just keep going…

I mean would we tell an adult victim of abuse to just suck it up and take it??

It is all so ridiculous and disrespectful to children.

PS he loved it the counselling.
