Young People

School and exam stress

Pressure to perform, fear of failure or difficulty concentrating.

• Explore what makes school feel stressful and practise age-appropriate ways to manage pressure and ask for support.
• Give your child space to talk about expectations and worries.
• Notice how pressure affects rest, confidence and daily routines.
• Explore manageable ways to prepare, pause and seek help.

Support is individual. These are possibilities to explore together, not promised outcomes.
