Sitting and revising for an exam is never easy, especially GCSEs. It is normal for your teen or child to get anxious around this time. Consequently, they may have a panic attack, insomnia or outbursts. Fortunately help is available. If your teen is tense and anxious, then everyone else is too! This becomes a vicious circle.

– focus and concentration
– Study skills

We know the mind learns better when it is relaxed. Stress inhibits learning. Just being more relaxed will help with revising for exams; whether it be A levels, GCSE or tests.
Below are a few revision tips:
Only study for 20 to 30 minutes
10 minute breaks
No phones
Writing things down, mind maps etc.

How can mindfulness help? We need good focus and concentration to revise and sit an exam. Daily mindful practice grows the part of the brain involved in focus and concentration. It also lowers stress and anxiety. Perfect really!
Most of us will have exams throughout our lives. Consequently, the skills we learn when we are young help us with any exams in the future. Just think about it, University, Driving Test and Job interview. It is an important life skill. I see adults that need help in this area too.
Your child will be given something to listen to between sessions. This helps with daily relaxation as well as learning new skills. Practice makes perfect! I offer a 15-minute appointment if your child prefers to meet me first.
