The ideal parent course
Children tend to tune in to emotionalwave of parents. Because it is important for adults to monitor words and actions. Do not discuss in the presence of the child your fears about the results of the exams. And certainly, do not set an example of a high-school student as an excellent student, this will only increase the uncertainty of the graduate. Take another position: tell me how you passed the exams and what methods you used. And do not bully the child. The biggest mistake parents make is telling stories about the negative consequences that will inevitably arise if the exam is passed badly. And you can not manipulate feelings, for example, say: "This is what you brought me to with my unwillingness to learn!" The child will have a feeling of guilt in this case, he will be even more afraid to fail on the tests. Look at the situation soberly: if you feel that the student not too well given to mathematics, do not expect a higher score in the certificate. Many parents, especially those who were excellent students, require the students impossible. By the way, most often suffer from this approach are the children of teachers.
Training strategy
Of course, go through the entire program for the remainder ofexams a month will not work. But you can refresh and structure knowledge. There are children who just have to look through their abstracts in order to remember the information they received. And it's not a matter of special endowment. Rather in assiduity, thanks to which day after day the material was laid out on the shelves. Such clever and clever people who studied diligently all year, are single. Most students try to master the program in a couple of weeks. And here it is important to choose the optimal schedule. Talk to the child about how to do it better. Someone quickly learns information only in the morning, but there are children who are effectively engaged in day. Do not try to break the schedule that suits the child, it will not give good results. By the way, do not change the usual regime of the day, it will increase stress.

Be afraid alone
Explain to the child that you do not need to starttests to communicate with classmates. The fact is that some people give their feeling of fear exaggerated. For example, they constantly say: "Oh, how I'm afraid, I will not give it up!" This leads to fear and longing for others. On the eve of the exam, ask the student if he needs a support group. There are people who are afraid to look bad in the eyes of friends, relatives, and because of this, they become very worried and completely forget the information received. Tell me about the signs that once helped you to cope with the excitement. This may seem strange, but funny ways of attracting good luck, for example, a five-ruble coin in shoes or a pin on the hem of the dress really help. Rituals and signs have the effect of a placebo, thanks to them there is a sense of confidence.
