School Survival Series
Students today have very busy schedules all-year round and it’s a very different experience for the current generation. The digital revolution has changed the way kids learn and study, with information available to them 24 hours a day.
There are many strategies that students can implement to help them get through the school years but it is also important for parents understand how to support their child. This is essential during times of transition and exam time, not only emotionally, but also practically. This series aims to offer parents, and students, advice on how to minimise stress levels and the overall impact on family life.
Every year, the media exposes us to the hype and pressure relating to school related stresses. However, putting things into perspective for students and parents alike, can help prevent everyone getting overwhelmed.
