All parents want their child to be successful, but in some families the pressure is too much. We must trivialize. We have to prioritize the objectives and know what the real priorities are. Needless to say, the baccalaureate is the key to higher education and social success, which can only scare them. It is also preferable not to mix family issues and school results. It is better, for example, not to link the allocation of personal accommodation to a success in the bac.
During the preceding weeks, do not ask him all the time if his revisions are progressing. Recreate a relaxed and reassuring family atmosphere. The pressure they endure at school is more than enough. During their preparation, the young people regress. They need to be surrounded, reassured. You shouldn’t expect too much of them. Avoid stress, pamper them and reinforce the little rituals to which they are attached, even if you feel like you are treating them as babies!
Discourage them from changing their habits, quitting smoking or starting a diet: they can’t fight on all fronts. Finally, let them work when they want, even very late, as long as they take a minimum of rest. Encourage them to relax, through sports or relaxation. And nothing prevents watching television to clear your head, but in small doses.
In great shape on the big day
The night before, dissuade them from working too late. After a game of tennis or a walk, they will find it easier to fall asleep. Above all, never give them sleeping medicine if they are not used to it. To reassure them, schedule a second wake-up call or have the phone wake you up.
