Growing Minds with DofE

One of the best things we can encourage young people to do this week is carry on enjoying their summer.
Meet friends.

Get outside.

Watch something funny.

Do something that has absolutely nothing to do with exams. They have already done the work.

As today comes to an end, many young people will still be processing everything that has happened.

Some will be celebrating.

Some will be grieving the future they imagined.

Both deserve understanding.

Tonight, remind them that this is one chapter in a much bigger story.

Tomorrow is a new day.

Today has been emotional for many families.

If your young person’s plans have changed, remember that they may need reassurance before they need solutions.

There are many routes into a successful future.

University.

Clearing.

Apprenticeships.

Employment.

Gap years.

Today is important.

It is not the end of the story.

For many families, this morning has been a long time coming.

Whether your young person is collecting their results at school or opening the email at home, try to let them experience the moment before jumping into questions or plans.

Celebrate with them.

Comfort them.

Listen to them.

Above all, remind them that they are loved regardless of what appears on the screen today.

Tomorrow will be an emotional day for many families.

Whatever your young person’s results, remind them tonight that your love and pride were never dependent on a set of grades.

Those words matter.

Perhaps more than you realise.

One recent participant told us:
“It gave me a way to deal with my nerves before exams. I felt in control again.”

Helping young people feel calm won’t change their grades.

It can change how they experience one of the biggest weeks of their lives.

Results Week has arrived.

For many young people, the waiting is harder than the results themselves.

If your son or daughter seems quieter than usual, remember that uncertainty can feel overwhelming.

This week, try to replace “What do you think you’ll get?” with “How are you feeling?”
Sometimes that one small change opens a much bigger conversation.

Be kind to yourself tonight.

For many young people, the days before results can feel surprisingly heavy. After months of revision and exams, it is easy to spend Sunday evening replaying papers and wondering what might happen this week.

Encourage your teenager to put their phone down for a while, watch something they enjoy, read a book, go for a walk or simply have an early night.

A good night’s sleep is one of the kindest things they can give themselves before the week ahead.

Tomorrow marks the beginning of Results Week.

Your young person may not need advice.
They may simply need reassurance.

Be the calm in the room.

Try to listen before you speak.

Remind them that no matter what happens this week, they are loved, valued and never defined by a set of grades.
