Ep. 33: How to revise and cope with exam stress Teenage Kicks Podcast

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.

Helen Wills 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?
