With three teenagers, I have lived through many years of exam stress.

Well, what I mean is, I get stressed. They, on the other hand, look as if they are studiously peering at their computer screen, but on closer inspection are engrossed in online poker.

Of course we should feed our children healthy food all the time but there are times when what you eat can make the difference between success and failure.

A few more tips to try to ensure your child graduates cum laude. Start the day with a good breakfast — wholegrain cereal with a glass of orange juice is good as the vitamin C helps us absorb the iron from the cereal, which boosts brain power. Keep energy levels up with healthy snacks which speeds up brain function. And persuade them to get some exercise and plenty of sleep.
