The Neuroscience Of Exam Stress – Why It’s Not All In Your Child’s Head [Podcast 004]

How To Beat Exam Stress With Clare Josa

Today I’m taking you on a whistle-stop tour of the neuroscience of exam stress – demystified – so you can see how it’s not all in your child’s head. Plus, of course, I’ll be sharing what you can do about it.

We’re going to talk about:

• the neural pathways that set tiny exam triggers off on the motorways in your child’s brain to become unconquerable mountains
• the bit of their brain that filters out encouragement and positive feedback
• to back up the negative self-talk they’re running
• how stress affects their ability to think straight
• why you can’t think your way out of exam stress and the power of the mind-body link.
