Keep Things Calm

• Avoid last-minute studying—it can increase anxiety.

• Do something relaxing as a family (board games, a movie, etc.).

Get Plenty of Sleep

• Aim for 8–10 hours of sleep depending on age. A rested brain works better!

• Avoid rushing. Have plenty of time for a calm breakfast and getting ready.

Eat a Nutritious Breakfast

• Include protein, whole grains, and some fruit (e.g., eggs + toast + banana).

Use Positive Encouragement

• Say something like: "You've prepared, and I believe in you!" instead of "You have to do well!"

• Let them know it’s okay to be nervous—it means they care.

Keep Perspective

• Remind them one test doesn't define their intelligence or worth.

Celebrate Effort

• Regardless of the outcome, praise their hard work and dedication.
