Stress: Friend or Enemy?<\/h4>

Having stage fright or feeling shy during a presentation is entirely normal<\/strong>. A bit of stress is stimulating and heightens your senses. But when it\u2019s disproportionate to the triggering event, it becomes paralyzing<\/strong>. So stress is not our enemy\u2014we just need to learn how to cope with it and manage it.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner] <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content_no_spaces”][vc_column el_class=”scribble-position-center”]

Knowing Your Subject Inside-Out = Confidence<\/h3>

The key to reducing one\u2019s stress is to know your subject thoroughly<\/strong>. So you must at all costs avoid doing the research\u2014or worse, writing the presentation\u2014for your child. First, you\u2019re not helping them with their understanding of their subject matter. And second, it\u2019s cheating<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

However, you can be interested in their subject and discuss it with them to help them develop a good understanding of it.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content_no_spaces”][vc_column]

Learn Your Text by Heart? No!<\/h4>

Remind your teen that learning a text by heart, word for word, down to the punctuation, isn\u2019t a good idea at all. If they forget even a word, they\u2019re doomed. They\u2019ll freeze completely!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once their text is good and ready, you can suggest that they prepare cue cards<\/strong> instead. Most of the time, teachers allow these. They will serve as guides during their presentation.<\/p>\n
