How can I help my child prepare<br />

for <strong>NAPLAN</strong>?<br />

• Focus on doing their best & trying hard<br />

• Validate your child’s feelings if they’re feeling nervous, tell them that it’s<br />

normal to feel a little nervous. Listen to any of their concerns.<br />

• Give them some relaxation ideas: deep breaths.<br />

• Give them a good breakfast on each of the assessment days.<br />

• Be positive when asking your child how the test went. If you act worried,<br />

your anxiety will be noticed.<br />

• Treat the test as just one component of your child’s educational<br />

achievements.<br />

• Make sure your child’s sleeping <strong>and</strong> waking schedule is regular in the days<br />

leading up to <strong>and</strong> during the assessment period.<br />

Above all have a positive view of <strong>NAPLAN</strong> – a positive<br />

caring attitude is the best thing you can do to support<br />

your child.
