But it’s about YOU too!
I have designed this special learning experience to support parents like you, who would LOVE to have more strategies to help yourself and your child when it comes to preparing for the exams, knowing how to embrace mistakes and managing the stress which can quickly overwhelm children (and parents!)
I’ll be guiding you through the exact strategies I share with my 121 clients:
So you will know what to say and do during those challenging moments.
So you can manage your expectations, equipping you with the tools to regulate your emotions and have a greater capacity to support your child with theirs.
So that you maintain boundaries and create a structure that supports both you and your child - allowing time for study, space and play during these next few months!
Whilst this is about passing exams; it's about preparing your child—and you—to handle any of life's big moments with strength and grace. From managing stress to embracing mistakes, I’m going to cover it all.
Does your child…
Feel anxious, worried or nervous about their 11+ exams?
