Advice for helping a stressed friend

StudyBuddy

When your friend is feeling worried about tests, they often study too much. You should tell them to stop and take a break. Going for a walk in the park together is a great idea. Fresh air helps people feel calm. You can also play a sport like tennis or football. Exercise is very good for stress. Remind them to leave their books at home! If they are still worried later, you can ask them questions about their notes.

TeenMind

Sometimes friends just need someone to talk to when exams are coming. You do not need to give them advice. Just sit with them and listen carefully to their feelings. It is important not to talk about school work or difficult subjects. Instead, you can watch a funny film together to make them laugh. Cooking their favourite meal is another excellent way to help. Good food always makes people feel happier when they are having a bad day.

School Wellbeing

If your friend has too much to learn, they might feel afraid. You can help them write a study timetable. When they have a good plan, the work feels easier. You can also help them clean their desk. A tidy room helps you think clearly. Make sure your friend doesn't stay awake all night to read. Sleep is very important before a big test. Send them a nice text message in the evening to remind them to go to bed early.

Helping Our Siblings with Schoolwork

Leo

I always help my little brother with his maths homework. We do it in the kitchen after we finish our evening meal. I am very good at maths, but my brother finds it hard. Sometimes I feel a bit angry when he doesn't understand simple things. He also looks at his phone a lot. I think he learns much faster when there is no noise in the room. I want to play games with him, but we must finish the homework first!

Sara

My sister has problems with reading. She thinks books are really boring, so she never wants to read. I love reading, so I try to help her at the weekend. I don't get angry with her. Instead, we play word games on the computer together. This makes it fun for her, and she learns new words quickly. She is usually hungry after this, so we go downstairs to eat some pizza. Next week, we are going to start a short story.

Tom

I help my younger sister with her science projects. We usually do this in the afternoon, as soon as we get home from school. Science is my favourite subject, but my sister is very clever. Sometimes she knows the correct answer before I do! We make a big mess on the table with our projects, but our parents don't mind. We talk a lot while we work, so it is never quiet in our house. It is a great way to spend time together.
