Our DDs are both sitting A Level exams this year. What can we do to help them, support them and keep them focused? Are there any pitfalls I should look out for?

Rezolution123 you sound like SUCH a lovely Mum! My own Mum used to take us swimming when we were revising - we would swim a few lengths, revise for 30 minutes, then get back in the pool. I also think it's very helpful to have a revision timetable with specified breaks and rewards - makes it all a bit more manageable. They simply can't revise for 8 hours solid, so introducing snack/exercise/TV/phone breaks is essential and not a luxury. Exercise is the best stress-buster there is so suggest some trips to the high street to buy something to help get both of them out of the house.
