The pandemic created a huge number of problems for many people but not least for the youngsters who were unable to sit their major exams, whatever they may be. Either way these young people have had a particularly raw deal, this is a story of how the remedies can help your children succeed.
Let’s look at a bit of history
The pandemic was only 4 years ago but there are children in our schools whose education was radically affected by it and we still need to consider it. However, the nerves and anxiety that is created by the simple word “exam” or revision can still send some of us into another orbit with worry and concern.
As the daughter of 2 teachers one of whom taught at senior level I am only too aware how difficult this time can be, and as the mother of a young lady who always strived to achieve but to do so had to work exceedingly hard – this time of year is tough.
I wanted to talk you through a testimonial and story of a client I had last year, she was desperate and so was her daughter, although the daughter didn’t say so in her own words until it was almost too late.
The story
Back in early 2021 I had a call from a mum who was worried about her 16-year-old daughter – she had struggled through the first lockdown and the beginning of the pandemic and home schooling but mum had done her best. After long discussions we put together a selection of remedies for both. We looked at the fear remedies for both, we looked the remedy Agrimony for the daughter to help her to open up and find it easier to talk to Mum, we also discussed Clematis for clarity and focus, attention to detail – so important when revising. We looked at Oak – the remedy to allow both Mum and daughter to rest when they were so tired. This first blend was brilliant for the daughter.
Mum had her own blend, and this also contained Red Chestnut for her fear and over concern for her daughter. Sometimes when we are over concerned for our children, we do not give them time to breath and show themselves, we need to allow them space to develop and Red Chestnut is brilliant for this.
For the daughter, it was mastering her fear of failure and how this could affect her future and that by not getting the results she needed her whole life would be shattered. When however, we talked it through step by step she was able to appreciate that if she did the best she could where she was at that time it would gradually fall into place.
How we helped and the results
It was a time to reduce the blind panic and encourage a method of slowly looking at each piece of revision as a single job and working through it gradually. When we looked at remedies to encourage a level of confidence and ability and also to encourage her patience, we were able to create a more peaceful environment for her to study in. Her mind was more logical, and she realised that the only thing she needed to do was her best!
The remedies allowed both parties in these sessions to really understand their minds and also to be able to improve their relationships, the assessments as they were then, were successful and whilst it wasn’t straight A’s all the way there was a huge amount of happiness, relief and fun had by both Mum and daughter. We had straight A’s for fun and love and a much better relationship for both.
In Mum’s own words “I have found a beautiful understanding with my daughter and also with myself – thanks to the remedies.”
How we could help you
I can blend a unique selection of remedies to suit your personal needs and to suit the needs of your children. Your children can talk to me on their own or with you – we can work via zoom or phone its entirely up to you. I will work with whatever you are happy with.
This is key – we are not all Einstein – in fact if we were life would be very tedious, but if you are able to go into an exam knowing you have done your best then you can do no more. Don’t look at others and don’t listen to others – concentrate and focus on yourself and realise that it is only about you and your life.
