Tips for Parents During the Exam Period
Being organised is always the first step towards managing exam periods. Try the following:
- Set up a quiet study area - Ensure your child has a designated area in your home for studying. Help them reduce the amount of distractions.
- Make a study schedule - Now that you know when the “Abitur” exams will be held, it is a good idea to take a seat and create a study schedule. This will guarantee that you know what your child is doing and when allowing you to help them manage their stress in advance.
- Talk about expectations - You and your child may not have the same expectations so it is important that you both know what the other expects. Having conversations around expected behaviours and results before, during, and after exams will help you both manage expectations.
- Create stress-relief tactics - As a parent, you are probably aware of the warning indicators that your child is experiencing stress. Do not forget to discuss coping techniques like taking a walk or just laying still while listening to music.
