　　How to Calm Your Teen's Nerves before an Exam

　　Stress is a feeling of physical, mental of emotional strain of tension which disturbs or interferes with normal physiological balance. Stress can be overwhelming for anyone, but it can be especially difficult for a teen that has not yet developed effective coping skills. A major source of teen stress is school exams, and test anxiety is not uncommon. So, how can parents help their teen stay calm before an exam?

　　*Recognize when your teen is under stress.

　　Teens can feel an immense pressure to do well on exams. For some teens, just the idea of taking the test can bring them into a panic.

　　Emotional symptoms include: excessive aggression, mood swings, and panic attacks.

　　*What should parents do?

　　To help teens handle stress and stay focused, parents should encourage their teens to manage their time, eat and sleep well, exercise, and ask for help when they need it. Parents can also be more understanding of their teen's moody or difficult behavior during stressful times.

　　* Be involved

　　Parents need to be involved in their teen's work. What they look for is your presence — to talk, or simply to sit with them quietly. Communicate openly with your teen.
