Test Taking Do's and Don'ts for Parents
- Talking about the test with your child can relieve stress about test taking.
- If you are anxious, try not to share this anxiety with your child.
- Keep a positive attitude. Although it is important to let your child know tests are to be taken seriously, it is also important not to increase test-taking anxiety.
- Make sure your child gets plenty of sleep each night. A tired child has difficulty focusing.
- Ensure that your child eats a healthy breakfast or arrives at school in time to eat breakfast. Studies suggest that good nutrition is related to improved attention and concentration.
- Pick out clothes before going to bed. Choose comfortable clothes and allow your child to dress in layers so that he/she can adjust to the temperature of the classroom.
- Get up early to avoid rushing and/or arriving late to school.
- Make the mornings pleasant. Stress will impair your child's ability to perform his/her best.
- Don't schedule dental or doctor appointments for testing days.
- Don't send your child to school sick.
- Don't underestimate your influence! Taking an interest in your child and his/her education will certainly have a positive impact.
