Please consider these parent tips below to help your child be success with their tests:

1. Prepare for test day the night before so your child does not feel rushed on the morning of testing.
2. Go to bed early to get a good night’s sleep. Children need 8.5 to 11 hours of sleep each night to feel rested.
3. Eat a healthy breakfast by choosing fruits and whole grains over sugary foods.
4. Surprise your child with a special not from you. Your enthusiasm and praise for doing his/her best can help reduce your child’s test anxiety and boost confidence!                                                                            (www.theNEDshow.com)
