April
Your child will be taking year-end tests shortly. Here are some suggestions to help your child do their best.
Get rid of test stress
-
Don’t stay up late. Kids need to get a good nights rest.
- Eat healthy meals. Eating well provides energy at test time.
- Learn to relax. Kids have different methods to relieve stress…taking deep breath, imagine a peaceful place, etc.
- Be positive. You should expect your child to do well. Encourage them to think positive and to try their best.
- Face fears. It is normal to be nervous, however, don’t get too anxious.
How can parents help?
- Make school a priority. Encourage daily attendance. Keep communication channels open with teachers.
- Don’t put too much pressure on your child. If you are overly worried about tests, there is a chance your child will be overly worried.
- Judge your child’s success by their effort and improvement rather than grades. If he studied hard, but fails, compliment him for trying. Remember, children learn from their mistakes.
- Build your child’s confidence. Let them know that you believe in them.
- Help them with learning. Assist them with their homework. Be their study partner.
- Give your child practice in following directions.
These suggestions along with day to day encouragement will help your child do his best on important tests.
