SUPPORTING YOUR CHILD WITH REVISION THE ROBERT NAPIER REVISION GUIDE MRS J DUNNETT
KEY POINTS Education is the key to your child's future. Support them emotionally, mentally and physically Allow them to revise in a calm and quiet space. Remember that it is not just at home and at school where they can do this – consider the local library Make sure your child has a good healthy diet – feeding the brain will help your child to stay focused and energised Help them attend all the revision evenings available to them Encourage them – they need you and your support!
PLAN REVISION – REVISION TIMETABLES Have a revision timetable. USE your revision timetable. It all sounds so obvious but does your child actually do it? Simple tips to consider when putting together a revision timetable: Spend no longer that 20 -40 minutes on one subject in one go Take regular breaks in between revision sessions e. g. before starting the next Consider the dates of actual exams and what needs your specific attention initially and what you could focus on after other exams are out of the way
WRITE GOOD REVISION NOTES Revision notes need to be short and relevant. Many people spend time writing notes on things they already know. Focus on things you do not know and need to learn. Write on revision cards or post it notes and arrange them around the house. If it is a subject where you need to practice skills – DO IT! Maths and English are classic examples of this.
PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT Get your child to do regular timed exam practice. Past papers are an excellent way to do this. The more they do it the more confident they will become in their real exam. Get into the habit of planning answers.
CONCLUSION Think about the summer and being with your child opening up their all important envelope with exam results in. The envelope that all their education thus far has helped prepare them for. “ TO FAIL TO PREPARE IS TO PREPARE TO FAIL” Question: How will you help your child secure their future success?
DEALING WITH A STRESSED TEENAGER MR A SHAND What does stress feel like? “I feel under pressure all of the time, like something bad is going to happen. ” “I can’t decide where to start, there is too much to do. ” “Everyone else says they are fine and that the work is easy. ” “I want to hide. ”
Increased irritability Poor sleep Loss of interest in food Appearing ‘flat’ or negative Stomach pains and headaches can also be stress related. THE SIGNS
Becoming withdrawn is a common reaction to stress but we all need a space to discuss how we feel. HOW TO HELP
High expectations + a practical approach Emotional resilience is about our ability to respond to and manage stressful situations It is important to model optimistic thinking and also to provide practical ways in which to manage the situation. "Keep things in perspective, listen to them, give support and avoid criticism. " DEAL WITH THE FEAR
Top tips Small regular meals Make time to eat Good sleep will improve your child's thinking and concentration. Most teenagers need between 8 and 10 hours' sleep a night. Foods which release energy slowly Half an hour of ‘wind down’ time before going to sleep. Consider what works best for your child. EATING AND SLEEPING-THE ESSENTIALS
Avoid making rigid plans over the exam period Make time to relax with your child Realistic expectations Consider where you can fit is fresh air and exercise as a family. FLEXIBILITY
Stressful situations and challenges are unavoidable, it is our ability to step back and deal with then calmly that gets us through. If we do this the stress turns into motivation and the result is success. CONCLUSION

ATTENDANCE & PUNCTUALITY High attendance and punctuality are closely linked to successful performance. Statistics show an attendance of 80% (one day off a week!) is equal to a drop in grades of one grade per subject. Good punctuality means arriving on time ready to learn, and getting the benefits of all the support from your lessons.
