For parents, the final exam period is also an exciting time, especially if it is your first time. But because her daughter was well prepared, stress was actually not needed. \u2018Our eldest daughter has dyslexia which makes learning a bit harder. But she wants to get the best out of herself so long before the exams started, she already came with a clear plan.\u2019<\/p>\n
Despite starting to learn on time and the strict plan, Debbie’s daughter was stressed just before and during the exams. \u2018She of course wanted to pass, which may have put extra pressure on herself. That caused stressful moments. She got ear pain and we went to the doctor. It turned out she put so much tension on her jaw that it got locked. To fix it, she got relaxation exercises which made her calmer. But she had most stress during the exams. That is why I contacted the school for her oral exams and then her mentor sat with her during those exams to calm her a bit. If he noticed she blocked, he could help her get through those oral exams well. That was very nice.\u2019<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"quote","quote_tekst":"Our ritual was to have lunch together in the afternoon. To give some extra attention and show you are there.

Debbie tried to be at home as much as possible during the period her daughter was studying. \u2018I wanted to be there for her as often as possible if she needed me. And then sometimes bring food and drinks. Our ritual was also that we had lunch together in the afternoon. To give some extra attention and show you are there.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u2018If she was very stressed, I tried to tell her not to worry. At home, we tried to put as little pressure as possible on the exams. In the worst case you do not pass and repeat the year. Then next year is easier because you have already done it all. We also kept doing many fun things to find the right balance between studying and relaxing. We really encouraged that.\u2019<\/p>\n
For all parents who enter this exciting period with their child, Debbie has a good tip. \u2018It is very personal because it depends on what kind of child you have. But try not to put too much pressure on your child in general. Make room for relaxation and spend time with your child. Even if they are teenagers, they still want to do things with their parents. That also indirectly shows that you empathize with them. You do not have to be strict and push them to study 24\/7 because often that backfires. You must spend time on them, they appreciate that very much.\u2019<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"call_to_action","selecteer_call_to_action":"gerelateerde_onderwerpen_lijst","berichten_met_prioriteit":[{"ID":21565,"post_author":"0","post_date":"2020-02-24 13:18:56","post_date_gmt":"2020-02-24 12:18:56","post_content":"","post_title":"Examenperiode tips voor ouders","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"examenperiode-tips-voor-ouders","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2026-04-10 15:35:02","post_modified_gmt":"2026-04-10 13:35:02","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":20855,"guid":"https:\/\/oudersenonderwijs.nl\/examenperiode-tips-voor-ouders\/","menu_order":6,"post_type":"page","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"download_pdf":false,"veelgestelde_vragen_verwijzing":{"titel":"","knop_tekst":"","url":""}},{"acf_fc_layout":"meer_informatie_links","linkjes":false}],"call_to_action":"nieuwsbrief","call_to_action_2":"geen","auteur":"","foto":"https:\/\/oudersenonderwijs.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Interview-Debbie-examens.jpg","naam":"Debbie","quote":"Show That You Are There For Your Child","zoekwoorden":""},"yoast_head":"\n
