A major source of teen stress is school exams, and test anxiety is not uncommon. When you recognize your teen is under stress, how can parents help your teen stay calm before an exam?
Be involved. Parents need to be involved in their teen’s work. What they look for is your presence — to talk, to cry, or simply to sit with them quietly. Communicate openly with your teen. Encourage your teen to express his worries and fears, but don’t let them focus on those fears.
Help them get organized. Together, you and your teen can work out a time-table in which he can study for what he knows will be on the test.
Provide a calm setting. Help your teen set up a quiet place to study and protect his privacy. Give them a nutritious diet. It is important for your teen to eat a healthy, balanced diet during exam times to focus and do his best. If this happens, encourage your teen to eat light meals or sandwiches. A healthy diet, rather than junk food, is best for reducing stress.
Persuade your teenager to get some sleep and /or do something active when he needs a real break from studying. Making time for relaxation, fun, and exercise are all important in reducing stress. Help your teen balance his time so that he will feel comfortable taking time out from studying to spend time with friends or rest.
Show a positive attitude. Your panic, anxiety and blame contribute to your teen’s pressure. Make your teen feel accepted and valued for his efforts. Most importantly, reassure your teen that things will be all right, no matter what the results are.
A.A parent’s attitude will dictate their teen’s emotions. |
B.Exam stress can make some teens lose their appetite. |
C.They will only make the situation worse. |
D.Encourage your teen to relax. |
E. The best thing is simply to listen.
F. Help your teen think about what he has to study and plan accordingly.

Our spiritual intelligence quotient(精神智商), or SQ, helps us understand ourselves, and live fuller, happier lives.
While we’re all born with SQ, most of us aren’t even aware that we have it. Fortunately, you don’t have to sign up for classes to learn how to improve your SQ. Here are some simple steps that can lead you to this new level of understanding.The process of developing spiritual(精神的) intelligence(智力) begins with solitude(独处) and silence. To tune in(调整) to your spirit, you have to turn down the volume in your busy, noisy, complicated(复杂的) life and force yourself to do nothing at all. Start small by creating islands for silence in your day. In the car, instead of listening to the music, use the time to think. At work, shut the door to your office between meetings, take a few breaths and let them out very, very slowly.
Step Outside. For many people, nature sets their spirit free. If you are walking with the dog, take the time to admire flower in bloom; follow the flight of a bird and watch clouds float overhead.
Find an Activity You Enjoy. It’s important to find a hobby that helps you tune in to your spirit. Garden, walk or jog, arrange flowers, listen to music that touches your soul.Ask open-ended questions, such as “What am I feeling? What are my choices? Where am I heading?”
But don’t expect an answer to arrive through some super-natural form of e-mail. “Rarely do I get an immediate answer to my question.” says Reverend Joan Carter, a Presbyterian minister(长老会牧师) in Sausalito, California. “But later that day I suddenly find myself thinking about a problem in a perspective(角度) I never considered before.”While most of us rely on gut(本能的) feeling to realize danger, spiritual intelligence pushes us, not away from, but towards some action that will lead to a greater good.
A.Sit Quietly. |
B.Trust Your Spirit. |
C.Change Your Spirit. |
D.Get Your Spirit Relaxed. |
E. Ask Questions of Yourself.
F. Go outside to watch a beautltul sunset.
G. Enjoy the stillness in your home after the kids are finally in bed.
