深圳城市綠洲學(xué)校校長語錄：應(yīng)對(duì)IGCSE考試壓力-父母小貼士

應(yīng)對(duì)IGCSE考試壓力-父母小貼士

學(xué)生在考試期間非常有壓力，對(duì)于父母、兄弟和家庭中的任何人來說都同樣緊張!我們意識(shí)到父母和老師都希望孩子和學(xué)生能夠做到最好，但有時(shí)我們需要探討一個(gè)問題：

Exam time can be a very stressful time for students but equally stressful for parents, siblings and anyone in a household with a teenager doing exams! We all realise that parents and teachers want the best for their children and students, however sometimes we need to sit back and ask the question:

我的行為是否增加了我的孩子/學(xué)生的壓力?

“Are my actions adding to the stress my son/daughter/student is under?”

針對(duì)這個(gè)話題做了一些研究之后，我發(fā)現(xiàn)了五個(gè)有價(jià)值的建議，可以幫助你在生活中幫助年輕人獲得成功，而不是額外增加他們的壓力。

After doing some research on this topic I have found five worthwhile tips for you to try to help the young people in your lives to be successful without the added burden of ‘stressing them out!”

協(xié)助他們安排時(shí)間和學(xué)習(xí)時(shí)間表?？荚噷⒊掷m(xù)數(shù)周，隨著考試的進(jìn)行，一些學(xué)生可能中途會(huì)休息一下，再次集中注意力比較困難。確保他們有一個(gè)學(xué)習(xí)時(shí)間表，可能會(huì)將他們從家務(wù)瑣事中釋放出來,并鼓勵(lì)他們堅(jiān)持完成“待辦清單”，這將有助于他們管理自己的時(shí)間，并在IGCSE考試的長周期中做好準(zhǔn)備。

Support them in being organised with their time and study timetable. The exams are over a number of weeks and as these exams progress some students might take breaks and find it difficult to refocus. Ensuring they have a study timetable, maybe release them from household chores and encourage them to stick to ‘to-do’ lists will help them to manage their time and be prepared as the long weeks of IGCSE examinations goes on.

確保他們在考試期間有專門的學(xué)習(xí)空間。這包括幫助他們明智地利用時(shí)間，以便與第一條建議相符。確保家庭成員都明白這是一個(gè)關(guān)鍵的問題，他們需要適合的空間來學(xué)習(xí)。

Ensure they have a dedicated study space which is only theirs during the exam period. This will include ensuring they use their time wisely so it goes with the above. Make sure the rest of the family understands that this is an important space and if they are studying they need space to do so.

“健康的身體，健康的心理”是一種流行的說法。在考試期間勞逸結(jié)合也很重要。這意味著可以做運(yùn)動(dòng)，和父母一起散步聊天，與朋友見面。同時(shí)還包括睡個(gè)好覺。睡眠是成功的秘訣，如果沒有一個(gè)穩(wěn)定的睡眠，學(xué)生將無法集中注意力?？荚嚽罢顾烙浻脖呈菦]有用的。營養(yǎng)均衡能夠確保學(xué)生在考試期間有足夠的能量，早餐、午餐和晚餐都很重要。

‘Healthy Body Healthy Mind’ is a popular saying. It is important that students studying for exams build in breaks and leisure time. This could mean playing sport, going for a walk with a parent to discuss the day, making time for their friends. It also includes sleeping well. Sleep is the secret to success. Without a solid night’s sleep students may not be as well focussed as they could be. Cramming all night before an exam is not going to help. Eating well is also part of ensuring students have the ‘fuel’ they need to study and concentrate during an exam. Make certain they have a good breakfast, and a healthy lunch and dinner.

上文提到，出去散步、和正在準(zhǔn)備考試的孩子聊天是讓他們休息一下的一種方式。和孩子談?wù)撍麄兊膲毫Α⑺麄兊母惺?、以及你如何支持他們，?huì)幫助他們感覺到你理解他們所承受的壓力。坦然承認(rèn)這是一個(gè)充滿壓力的時(shí)代，可以幫助他們感到安全。

I mentioned above that going for a walk and talking to children who are studying for exams is a way to give them a break. Talking to them about their stress, how they are feeling and how you can support them is going to help them feel that you understand the stress they are under. Acknowledge that these are stressful times and it is okay, can go a long way to make them feel safe and secure.

限制社交媒體的使用，尤其是在睡覺的時(shí)候不要使用電腦/電子設(shè)備，幫他們關(guān)閉社交媒體，這樣就沒有來自社交的干擾。正如之前提到的，晚上睡個(gè)好覺至關(guān)重要，而電子產(chǎn)品對(duì)此沒有幫助。

Limit social media particularly at bedtime the use of computers/electronic equipment will help them switch off and not be stressed out by friends and their problems! As I mentioned earlier a good night’s sleep is vital and electronic gadgets do not help this.

作為成年人，我們應(yīng)該意識(shí)到IGCSE考試是一系列的測試，并不能決定孩子的未來會(huì)是什么樣。我們可以讓孩子們知道，他們年輕還需要?dú)v練;在考試期間他們或許會(huì)向家人、朋友和老師尋求指導(dǎo)來幫助他們。

It is important that we as adults realise that the IGCSE examinations are a series of tests and do not define who they will be for the rest of their lives. We can help by being mindful they are young, inexperienced and most probably looking for guidance through their exam time from supportive family, friends and teachers.

基于此，祝愿所有學(xué)生在即將到來的考試中取得最好的成績。我知道他們會(huì)做得很好，請(qǐng)記住“冷靜沉著、下筆成章”!

On that note I wish all our students the best for their upcoming examinations. I know they will do well, and remember ‘Keep calm and write on!!’
