How to Cope with Exam Stress

Tips for managing exam stress

If you’re heading into exam season it’s likely that things are getting quite tense in your home. Parents are probably treading on eggshells, and teenagers are panicking that they haven’t done/read/learned enough to cope with GCSE’s or A-Levels. If that sounds like you, you definitely need to listen to this episode of the Teenage Kicks podcast.

I interviewed families and parenting coach Sharon Lawton for her best tips on how to cope with exam stress. She gave me so many brilliant tips, as well as some great revision techniques I hadn’t heard about before. Above all, my take away point from Sharon was this:

“Focus on what you can control, not what you can’t…”

I think it applies to pretty much every stressful situation, don’t you?

You can find Sharon’s brilliant daily tips on managing stress in families on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, as well as on her coaching site Natural Flair Coaching.

If you’re a parent of teens it can be difficult to know where to go for advice, to vent, or just to talk. So I’ve made the Teenage Kicks Facebook group, for all parents of teenagers to chat in a safe space. It’s a private group and everyone in there will be a parent of teenagers.
