Re: Stressed GCSE mum

Oh isnt it dreadful pressure on all concerned....My YS is just finishing his SATS....not quite the same and he has been fine...I think 1st of all....sit down and deep breath...I find a long walk and time to be alone in order to work out how to take it all forward....

There IS nothing you can do until the results come...and by going over what could have been done is not fair...Its too late...I fully understand what you are saying but nerves presure etc often take over...does your daughter have any relaxation coping techniques??...Maybe listening to a relaxation tape prior could help....this is 1 exam...wth many more to come...so try and give her a boost...maybe a shopping girly trip this weekend...when is the next exam????.....maybe she can miss out on study this weekend and have some time off??....if she doesnt know it now another day is not going to make a difference??.....

Be kind to her and yourself..You are the adult..keep your emotions hidden I think..If she thinks you are stressed then this will put more pressure on her..Can I ask???...Are you a pushy mum??...If worse comes to the worse she can alwasy resit...I know that may sound harsh...but I failed my nursing exams and all my friends were in jobs while I was back to the books.....Good luck and thinking of you....x
