It is important for your teen to eat a healthy, balanced diet during exam times to focus and do his or her best. 38If this happens, encourage your teen to eat light meals or sandwiches. A healthy diet, rather than junk food, is best for reducing stress.
39Persuade your teenager to get some sleep and /or do something active when he or she needs a real break from studying. Making time for relaxation, fun, and exercise are all important in reducing stress. Help your teen balance his or her time so that he or she will feel comfortable taking time out from studying to spend time with friends or rest.
Show a positive attitude. 40Your panic, anxiety and blame contribute to your teen’s pressure. Make your teen feel accepted and valued for his or her efforts. Most importantly, reassure your teen that things will be all right, no matter what the results are.

You can then join in other students in playing ballgames or swimming. There will be a lot of funs. If you have any questions or requests, please let me know. We’ll try our best to make my stay here in Beijing pleasant experience. Best wishes
