Big Kids: What Not To Say To A Stressed Student

Welcome to This Glorious Mess Big Kids. A twice-weekly look at parenting as it really is. Confusing, exhausting, inspiring, funny, and full of surprises. So many surprises. We're getting to the business end of the school year. Senior school students across the country are writing notes, revising, practising in preparation for their year 12 exams.  So if you've got a dedicated student in your house or one that maybe isn't applying themselves how can we best support them?  Katie Jones from Rock Solid Study breaks down for us the best ways to help our kids tackle big tasks, study smarter and the three hurdles facing procrastinators.  Plus on parenting mentors, what do you say to your kid if they want to leave school?  LINKS Looking for ways to study smarter?
