Support a Teenager Through Exam Stress

GCSEs or A Levels are looming and your teenager is either melting down or pretending nothing's happening. This helps you back them without hovering: separating the stress you should ease from the pressure that's normal, setting up revision support they'll accept, and knowing when worry tips into something more. You give the exams and their state; it builds the plan.
