Inside the guide
What you’ll be able to do by SATs week
SATs aren’t just about test papers. They’re about how your child feels. This guide focuses on calm, confidence and connection so they can walk into each paper feeling supported.
Support them calmly
Simple scripts and check‑ins you can use at breakfast, on the school run and at bedtime — without turning SATs into a bigger deal than they need to be.
Ease pressure, build confidence
Gentle ways to talk about effort, not results — so your child feels proud of what they’ve tried, not afraid of getting things “wrong”.
Know what to say when worries show up
Ready‑to‑use phrases and questions that validate your child’s feelings and gently bring them back to calm — even if you’re feeling nervous too.
You don’t need to become a teacher to be a brilliant support
You won’t find pages of practice questions or complex strategies here. Instead, this guide focuses on what only you can give your child: calm, connection and the feeling that, whatever happens, they’re already enough.
Every idea inside fits around normal family life — school runs, tea time, the walk to the playground — so you can support your child without adding more to your to‑do list.
