5 Wise Words From Wendy:
1. Prepare. The end of the semester is drawing near. Preparation will help with focus and lessen the anxiety.
2. Plan. Think a head and plan for a fun, educational summer. Helping your student plan for their break will increase motivation,
3. Relax. Quality time and laughter are great ways to relax. Watch a movie or cook something together (Check-out recipe below), tackle an escape room or simply take a walk.
4. Support. Advise your student to reach out to their teachers for end of the year support. Do they need a tutor or an organizational coach. Think of supportive ways to help decrease their anxiety.
5. Love. The end of the semester is often presented with fear and concern. Be sure to show extra love to your student in the next few weeks. Help them know that you are their safe space and that you love them no matter what grade they receive.
