Right now, thousands of children are sitting in classrooms, feeling the pressure that comes with tests and performance. For some, it’s a manageable challenge. For others, it’s overwhelming.
As a coach working with young people, I see first-hand how easily stress, anxiety, and self-doubt can creep in — especially during this time of year.
So this week, let’s double down on compassion over comparison. Let’s remind young people that:
💬 Their worth is not defined by a score.
💬 It’s okay to feel nervous, tired, or unsure.
💬 Talking about mental health is not a weakness — it’s strength.
To teachers, parents, and school staff: thank you for the calm, care, and encouragement you’re offering this week.
To the young people: you are doing your best — and that is enough. 💚
