Parents of Hardworking Teens

Ep. 52
If your teen has ever:
- gone blank or 'frozen' in an exam,
or
-wished they could better memorise information,
OR
if you've seen them revising BUT...
- doing it in ways that are taking for.ev.er
​​​​​​​(like writing out pages upon pages of notes, or stacks and stacks of revision cards)
or
- in a way that just isn’t really very effective
​​​​​​​(like just watching tutorial videos or 'reading over' their notes)

---then they're likely using 'passive' revision techniques in their exam prep.
​​​​​​​This is not good.
Because this type of revision is usually time-consuming and ineffective.
Help your teen use more active revision techniques so they have the information they're working so hard to memorise go in, stay in and flow easily from brain to paper in the exam hall.

Ep. 80
What could your teen consider doing less of next year in their study to create success, rather than always thinking about doing more?
This is definitely something I need to consider too - as I’m naturally a 'more is more' person, so if your teen also has the tendency to think they need to do more and more in their study in order to get more marks, but is already working really hard, then maybe it's time to consider how to be more strategic, by doing less of certain things.

We use the word 'potential' a lot when it comes to students and their performance.
But how do we bridge that gap between your teen's current ability and their potential?
Here's how I see it:
Ability is what your teen IS achieving right now.
​​​​​​​
Capacity is what they could be achieving right now,
with their existing subject knowledge,
IF they had the tweaks, insights and skills to MAXIMISE that knowledge.
Capacity is what they could be producing,
not with a ton of extra work, knowledge and intelligence,
but if we just removed 'the kinks of the hose', or 'took off the handbrake' that's holding them back as they push hard on their accelerator.
It's what they have now, already inside of them, just OPTIMISED at full capacity.

Ep. 43
What are some of the best skills and tips to set your teen up for success as they start high school?
I'm not talking about the basics like organising their pencil case or laying out their uniform the night before.
Listen in for my top three study habits I recommend setting up in the early years of high school, the overall purpose of instilling them AND what to do if your teen’s further along but doesn’t have these in place yet.
YOU WILL LEARN:
- Why awareness is the most important 'competence' and how to build it.
- Exactly why I recommend the 10WGT for Y9 - 12 / Y10 - 13 and the certain situations where it might be appropriate to start earlier.
- How to make sure your teen isn't studying longer or harder than they need to, without dampening their spirit or work ethic.
- What's important to know and do in order to get maximum return on their effort.
