The Leaving Cert can be a stressful time for young people and for parents. Between study, sleep, routines, exam pressure and worries about what comes next, it can sometimes feel like a lot for families to manage.

To support parents and teens during exam time, #NPC has created a practical downloadable toolkit called Steady Through Their Exams.

This toolkit includes simple, printable resources to help young people plan their study, take breaks, check in with how they are feeling, and find support when things feel overwhelming.

Inside the toolkit, you will find:

▪ A daily study planner
▪ A weekly planner
▪ A study notes and quick reset page
▪ End of day reflection prompts
▪ Gentle wellbeing reminders
▪ Helpful support contacts for parents and young people

The aim is not to add more pressure. It is to help make exam time feel a little more manageable, with small steps, calm routines and practical support.

Parents do not need to have all the answers. Sometimes the most helpful thing is being there, listening, keeping things steady and reminding your child that they are more than their exams.

You can download the Steady Through Their Exams toolkit below.
