I know it's easy to say rather than practice but still try to tell yourself that worrying about something doesn't help. :) May be plan for something nice do with your DC. All of them have done extremely well, at this young age they have gone through a lot so now it's time to praise them for their hard work.

What helped me is that I discussed with them the possible outcomes of the result and what we will do in each of the them. I think that helped. We all need to be open and reassuring them that nothing is going to change our love for them and nothing is going to change in the house. And what people will think of us doesn't matter (if the result is not good), as they are not our family. That's it. :D

I've not been around for a while but 5 mins back onto the forum I came to the same conclusion!

Yes, they all worked hard. We have a busy evening as both of our DC have extra activities on Friday evenings. We took him out after the exam to celebrate his efforts.

I have started a "Sticky" thread at the top of the Bucks section in readiness for tomorrow.

Please do take time to glance at it before the results start to come in.

Good luck everyone!

Not annoying at all indiemum, just amazed at your boys stamina, he needs a huge reward for working so hard.

My boys all reluctantly sat the one test they were automatically entered for by the bucks local authority.
