TESTING TIPS FOR STUDENTS
Parents, there are a few things that you can do to help ease student anxiety and help students perform at their best.
1. Ensure that your student gets a good nights rest. Adolescents need 10 hours of sleep per night.
2. Disconnect from technology early in the evening. Your kids will hate to hear this, but it is a great idea to shut down phones and computers early in the evening so that your student has an opportunity to disconnect from multimedia, giving their minds an opportunity to wind down and relax without all of the multi sensory stimulation brought about by gaming, social media and light from the screens.
3. Eat a well balanced meal several hours before going to bed. I tell kids that their plates should be colorful, that means fruits and vegetables!
4. Eat breakfast! It's true, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. The first meal starts the metabolism process. Does your kid balk at eating first thing in the morning? Then have them eat something light, like a piece of toast with some fruit. Caffeine definitely works, but they need substance with it. Reduce sugar. They'll only crash later in the day.
5. Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water.
