Encourage your child to create a study timetable. Successful learners spend time every day doing one or more of the following activities:
• Completing homework
• Practising examination questions
• Reviewing notes from recent lessons
• Provide a quiet place where your child can study, free from interruptions and distractions
• Aim to maintain a calm and positive atmosphere
• Encourage your child to place any electronic devices to one side or store in another room during study time
• Ensuring your child has a healthy amount of sleep and keep hydrated
• Help them organise their resources so all are easily accessible. Make sure these are packed away at the end of a revision session or during a break
• Study guides are useful for learners studying GCSE and A Level - typically WJEC and Pearson examination board
• Stationery, learner subject books and Google Classroom will be essential during their revision
• A scientific calculator is essential for Mathematics (not a mobile phone)
• Teach and encourage relaxation techniques (breathing, mindfulness, muscle relaxation - lots of free Apps are available)
• Get them to take a break away from their preferred study area
• Exercise – even just a little bit. It releases endorphins that help combat stress - go for a walk with your child
• Encourage them to talk to you about their feelings
• Try to ensure they eat healthily - this will assist the immune system
• Ensure they are getting enough sleep - avoid the ‘jet lag’ of long weekend lie ins
• Challenge the way they are thinking if it is negative
• Help them recognise signs of stress and to identify why they are feeling stressed
• Do something practical to help - walk and talk. Encourage them to learn and practice relaxation techniques NOW ready for the summer
• Help them gain control over their studies with revision plans, checklists, resources and space
• Set up clear routines around eating, sleeping and phone use
• Make sure they attend school to minimise the stress of missing work
• Encourage them to recognise and deal with negative thoughts especially around examination time
• Show them you are proud of them, no matter what!
