💨 Abstract
The author describes the stress of helping their 16-year-old son prepare for GCSE exams, feeling more anxious than their child. They have created a detailed revision schedule, using various study techniques and resources. The author's husband suggests they are overdoing it, but they find that the process has brought them closer. They reflect on the competitive nature of modern parenting and the pressure to ensure their child's success. Ultimately, they hope to support their son while enjoying their time together.
