If your house feels a little more tense than usual this week, you’re probably not alone.
GCSE results day is tomorrow, and for thousands of young people and their families, the build-up can bring a real mix of emotions.
And as parents, it can be difficult too.
You want to reassure them, you want to say the right thing, without adding more pressure and you want them to know that whatever is written on that piece of paper, they are going to be okay.
So perhaps the most important message we can give our young people this week is this:
Your results are important, but they do not define you.
They don’t measure your kindness, resilience, creativity, work ethic, humour or potential.
Over the next couple of days, be gentle with them, and with yourself.
Sometimes the best thing we can do is simply remind them:
“Whatever happens on Thursday, we’ll work it out together.” 💛
From everyone at Fayth Health, we’re wishing all students, and the families quietly worrying alongside them, lots of luck for GCSE results day.
