He is at quite a high-pressure independent primary and has been given a lot of practise exam papers to do in timed conditions over the holidays.
This is stressing him out as he sometimes doesn't finish them in the time, and then gets upset. It's keeping him awake at night, and I'm worried it's counterproductive.
Another week before school starts again - I have tried to say all the usual reassuring stuff but it's not helping. He is above average intelligence and we have no worries about him passing the exam, he knows this.
Anyone else been through this got any useful advice?
