Today I’m taking you on a whistle-stop tour of the neuroscience of exam stress – demystified – so you can see how it’s not all in your child’s head. Plus, of course, I’ll be sharing what you can do about it.

We’re going to talk about:

  • the neural pathways that set tiny exam triggers off on the motorways in your child’s brain to become unconquerable mountains
  • the bit of their brain that filters out encouragement and positive feedback
  • to back up the negative self-talk they’re running
  • how stress affects their ability to think straight
  • why you can’t think your way out of exam stress and the power of the mind-body link.
