FCV085 Performing Under Pressure, Hendrie Weisinger

Tweens and teens often procrastinate. And when they do, parents may resort to threats, bribes, and/or pep talks. Some parents may lose it and say something like this, "Your whole future is riding on your SAT scores. When the hell are you going to start studying?!" Guess what? Those choice words only add to the pressure your child is already feeling. And nobody works better under pressure. According to Dr. Hendrie "Hank" Weisinger, "Regardless of the task, pressure ruthlessly diminishes our judgment, decision-making, attention, dexterity, and performance in every professional and personal arena." Not what we are going for. Pressure situations are part of every child's life. That's not going to change. Annie talks with Hank about ways parents can help their kids perform under pressure.
