How can I help my child prepare<br />
for <strong>NAPLAN</strong>?<br />
• Focus on doing their best & trying hard<br />
• Validate your child’s feelings if they’re feeling nervous, tell them that it’s<br />
normal to feel a little nervous. Listen to any of their concerns.<br />
• Give them some relaxation ideas: deep breaths.<br />
• Give them a good breakfast on each of the assessment days.<br />
• Be positive when asking your child how the test went. If you act worried,<br />
your anxiety will be noticed.<br />
• Treat the test as just one component of your child’s educational<br />
achievements.<br />
• Make sure your child’s sleeping <strong>and</strong> waking schedule is regular in the days<br />
leading up to <strong>and</strong> during the assessment period.<br />
Above all have a positive view of <strong>NAPLAN</strong> – a positive<br />
caring attitude is the best thing you can do to support<br />
your child.
