There are many things you can do as a parent right at home to help your child feel confident about this upcoming week. 1. Make sure your child gets plenty of sleep the night before the tests. Adequate sleep will help your child stay alert and focus their attention.
2. Have your child eat a healthy breakfast the morning of the test. Eating the right foods helps your child maintain the energy he or she needs to focus on a test.
3. Encourage your child to think positively about testing by focusing on what they already know. Some scientists believe that positive thinking can help students' brains perform better during stressful situations, such as testing.
4. Help eliminate discomfort and distractions by having your child dress comfortably on the day of the tests. They may want to bring a sweater because the AC will be running.
