Hi - so my son is an intelligent and very capable lad. He has a good circle of friends and is sociable and ‘doing all the things’ that one does as a teenager. His exams are coming up in May and he is totally engulfed in fear of them. He can’t revise or study as he just ends up panicking and going to bed. He is beginning to show signs of being depressed but is still able to socialise. He has lost a lot of confidence lately because he is not revising and he can see on the various social media platforms, that his peers have started. Does anyone have advice ? We support him regularly by trying to talk about it and have encouraged gentle revision ( like and hour here and there ) but he simply can’t do it. We’ve offered to help with the revision / organising his work / bought materials to help etc but he is frozen at the moment and can’t do it. He wants to go to college and be part of his friends group progressing forward but realistically, this won’t happen with his current fear.
Any thoughts appreciated
