SE 6 Episode 17: Surviving School Exams and Menopause: A Parent's Guide
Manage episode 400741189 series 2488468
Not all of us are parents, and some of us are small children; however, many of us during this time will have the collision of teenagers, their exams stress and our period/menopause.
It can be a heady combination as I well know when I was in the throes of perimenopause with the Tom doing the Australian HSC - it brought us to tears many times.
In this episode of the 'Thriving Thru Menopause' podcast, host Clarissa Kristjansson engages with Emily Hughes, a co-founder of the Parent Guide to GCSEs and the Parent Guide to Post 16.
They discuss the stress revolving around school exams during the phase of menopause and strategies to manage it.
During these candid conversations, Emily shares how the guides provide support for parents, the struggle of teenagers in adapting to the academic curriculum, and the unique challenges teachers face.
Apart from being an informative source regarding GCSEs, the guides also assist parents in understanding and supporting their teenagers' emotional and hormonal changes.
The episode also highlights the need for holistic approaches to tackling menopause symptoms and encourages parental participation in the podcast community.
