Parenting experts have offered their advice for dealing with whatever emotional fallout is in store as thousands prepare to receive their A-Level results and start a new chapter in life
A-Level results day can be joyous for some – a time to celebrate their hard work and look forward to the next chapter of their life.
“Bearing this in mind, it’s easy to see how one can be left with tricky feelings if the results do not meet one’s expectations.” Be empathetic On results day, it can be helpful to deal with the emotional fallout first, before discussing next steps, such as university or career options. “We know that repressing our emotions can lead to heightened stress and anxiety,” says Tikare. “Recognising and acknowledging the emotions that the student is experiencing can serve as an initial step towards effectively addressing them.”
Offer guidance “Try to resist the urge to ‘save’ the young person,” Tikare says. “Let them know how proud you are of them, that it is not the end of the world and that despite the pain, things like this happen.” “Whether that’s speaking to your school about querying a grade, getting set up with clearing, or contacting a careers adviser – expert guidance can help take the weight off your shoulders as a parent and can reassure you that your child is getting the best help possible.”
