Supporting parents will help to aid exam success

As exam season approaches, Lisa Salmon talks to teacher April Miller about her new book How To Help Your Teenager Achieve Exam Success.

ALL parents want their children to achieve their full potential, and one key way of doing that is through performing well in exams. This desire to pass with flying colours means that as testing time approaches, it’s not only students who are getting anxious. Parents are often equally stressed and want to do everything in their power to help them succeed.

But most simply don’t know the best way to do that – and that’s where teacher April Miller hopes she can lend a hand. Miller has written How To Help Your Teenager Achieve Exam Success in a bid to guide parents, looking at not only revision and motivation, but also at how a wide variety of other factors including food, exercise, thinking and emotions can affect exam success.
