3 WAYS YOUR TEENAGER CAN USE THEIR STUDY BREAKS DURING EXAM PREP

Great ways you can help your student take a break.

---

Exam season is here! And it can be a stressful time for your child. Help make their study breaks the highlight of their exam prep with these top tips.

1. HAVE NUTRITIOUS (AND DELICIOUS) SNACKS
Eating a nutritious and balanced diet will not only improve your child’s concentration, it will also prolong their attention span and enhance memory. That means a healthy snack during their study break. They don’t have to worry about the yum-factor, the snack can be nutritious and delicious. Ditch the sugar-filled chocolate bars and crisps that are sure to leave them feeling sluggish. Instead, let them snack on dates, raisins, nuts, seeds, veggie snacks and yummy fruits. Smart snacking promotes high energy levels and will have your young student feeling revitalised and ready to take on a new chapter with vigour after their break.

2. GET MOVING
Does your child need an energy refill? Have them get up and take a break from sitting all day and get their blood flowing through exercise. It doesn’t need to be an intense hour-long Pilates class; a brisk walk or bike ride around the block will do. Any movement will be beneficial in reducing stress, increasing brain function and boosting energy levels.

3. FRESH AIR FOR THE WIN
Let your child ditch the books (only while they take a short break) and step outside. The fresh air will clear your teenager’s head, lift their spirits and decrease their fatigue levels. Whether it is to take a short walk or simply to sit outside and bask in the sun, after taking a couple of minutes to spend in nature, no maths equation will stand a chance against your child and their post-break, clear brain.
