How to Beat Test Anxiety and Take on Exams Without Stress

I chose this video because it seemed to go along with the point of bettering mental health, especially when it came to school. There is some advice that I liked, and some that I didn't like. I would say that I didn't like it more than I did. The first tip talks about preparing yourself by normalizing your environment, this is an ok tip but it also tells you to practice testing in that room that you'll be in, you can never be too sure on what room because things will always change. The second tip also may not be helpful because the professor may not always know what will be on the test depending on what kind of test it is or the professor might not even be helpful about explaining when it comes to their own quiz. The last tip is helpful because it is basically about studying the material and your notes which could definitely be helpful but overall, this video might not be the best.

This video goes along with helping mental health and it helps you get things done when it comes to school which will help you get better. This video only really has one tip but I do think that it is helpful. The tip of making a system for yourself. I think that making a system or a reason to be able to do something or get it completed is good. You want to make sure that you do something for a good outcome for yourself, mainly when it comes to school because it can be difficult to feel encouraged to do something but knowing that you will be able to get something out of it, whether that be a good grade, self gratitude or maybe even both, is really beneficial and motivational.

The school year is almost here and it's time to start preparing. Whether your child is entering or returning to school, here are Port Discovery's Top 5 School Year Preparation Tips to help you and your child start the school year smoothly.

Port Discovery Tip #1: Establish Routines

Before the school year begins, establish your routine by setting the specific times for...

Waking Up

Morning Routines: face washing, hair brushing, teeth brushing and getting dressed

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and Snacks

Night Time Routines: bathing/showering, getting on pj's, teeth brushing and story reading

Lights Out

For older children, incorporate an alarm clock and/or watch to help your child identify when these events occur throughout the day. For our younger friends, create a visual daily schedule. Telling time, schedules and patterns help children make predictions and determine what comes next. Consistent routines encourage children to make logical connections and use reasoning skills.

Port Discovery Tip #2: Make Breakfast Count

We all know kids need a nutritious breakfast to get the day started. Port Discovery's breakfast tip is all about choice! Dedicate an easily accessible spot and select two or three different breakfast options each morning. Provide ingredients for these breakfast possibilities in your child's kitchen area. Encouraging your child to make choices is a step on the path to growing up. Through the power of choice, you can avoid tantrums, promote responsibility, foster creativity, develop problem solving skills and build confidence. And, you can use a similar routine for having lunch at home or even packing lunch for school.

Port Discovery Tip #3: Dedicate Screen Free and Interactive Time

Dedicate a block of time each day that is screen free. Commit some of this time to independent learning activities, like reading a book or working with constructive materials. Devote the other portion to strengthening the family unit. Playing board games or word games together is a fun way to engage your child's mind in building learning skills. Games can establish school preparedness over the summer months. Make the most of this family time. Embedded within game play there are many opportunities to learn: sharing, kindness, cooperation, vulnerability, humility, tenacity and the value of following well designed rules. And don't forget staying active! Make time for some physical play with a game of tag or jumping rope!

Port Discovery Tip #4: Get Organized

Keeping supplies and information organized can be challenging for everyone, but especially children. Organization is a key component of your child's executive function skills, which allow children to stay focused and on task. Work together to shop for school supplies. This will ensure your child knows what items they have. Together, pack your child's backpack, so your child knows where to find each of the items. In your home, select as a space for your child's Study Studio. Design and set up a quiet, personalized, fully stocked Study Studio with your child. The more organized the space, the more likely your child is to complete homework assignments independently.

Port Discovery Tip #5: Prioritize Mental Health

Check-in with your child. How are they feeling about returning to school? Find ways to meet the needs of your individual child. Are they nervous? How can you help your child alleviate their anxiety? Staying attuned to your child's mental health is crucial. Neglected mental health issues can cause a lack of focus, motivation and determination in children.

Conclusion

Setting goals can play a vital role in improving confidence, developing self-worth and providing a sense of purpose. With a goal in mind, children stay on-target, develop the skills they need to improve and successfully achieve.

Finally, remember and reflect on the good stuff! An intentional and regular practice of gratitude is the foundation for both compassion and appreciation. Instituting a practice of gratitude harnesses the power of positive thinking.
