Regulation: The Foundation of Wellness

Academic Expectations
Spilling the Educational Tea
In this episode, Melissa and Loudine chat about how learners and their parents can set realistic, healthy academic expectations. While well-intentioned, unrealistic expectations can cause more harm than good. A better approach is to work on improvement and learning lifelong skills instead of aiming for a specific grade or test score.
Matric: The Final Stretch
Spilling the Educational Tea
Join Melissa and Loudine as we talk about the matric final exam, how parents and learners can prepare, and what to expect. We cover the basics of taking care of both physical and mental health, tips for answering exam questions and calming nerves, as well as how to deal with the ‘post-matric-final blues’. This follows on from Melissa’s very informative talk with Pippa Hudson on Cape Talk on Monday, 6 October, which you can listen to here: https://omny.fm/shows/afternoons-with-pippa-hudson/family-matters-matric-prep
