1.6: Exam Anxiety

Amit Singh Kalley talks to Michael Thorpe, Educator and Mental Health Consultant, about exam anxiety and why so many teenagers suffer from it. We talk about Michael's own struggles with anxiety and how it led to him being a school refuser and then move onto what parents can do if they notice exam anxiety in their child. Given the uncertainty in the COVID era, more teenagers than ever are suffering from this and parents need to be on hand to say the right things and take the right action. Listen to Michael and I discuss exactly what you can do to help, rather than hinder, your child.
