In this solo episode of Your Parent Coach, Mel dives into the often-misunderstood world of teen study stress — and how understanding your teen’s learning style can unlock better support, communication, and calm at home.

I introduce my brand new Study Creature Quiz — a playful yet powerful tool designed to help parents (and teens) uncover their unique study styles. From the high-speed “Zippy” to the perfectionist “Blip,” each creature reflects a different way our kids approach learning and school-related stress.

By exploring these character types, it can help you decode what's really behind that last-minute panic, missed assignment, or “lazy” afternoon, and how to respond with curiosity, not criticism.

Whether your child is a creative thinker, a meticulous planner, or a social study-buddy, this episode will help you:

• Understand their study behaviour on a deeper level
• Recognise signs of overwhelm, perfectionism, and burnout
• Learn how to shift your support to match their real needs
• Use the quiz results to improve your household dynamic

l also share practical tools, real-life examples from MY coaching, and how to reflect on your own learning style to connect better as a family.
