Your Child's Index ______________

Is your child in overload? If you answered yes to ten or more of the above questions about your child then your child may be experiencing some degree of test or performance anxiety. Don’t worry. Dr. Pitkin has tools, techniques, and practical strategies to help your child.

Experiencing test and performance anxiety is natural. In fact, most people – even those who have prepared extensively – experience some level of anxiety before and during tests. While a certain level of test and performance anxiety is beneficial (as it motivates students to adequately prepare), too much can be detrimental if it prevents them from studying, preparing properly, or concentrating during a test or performance.
