If you're the parent of a teenager going through GCSEs or SATS, you're probably feeling as much pressure as they are. The good news is that you can take positive action now to help overcome the pressures before and after the exams.

It's important to give your child something to look forward to beyond the exams. Having a positive thing to focus on beyond the pressures will provide a real boost - and give everyone something to look forward to when times get tough.

It's also important to think beyond the event - "The exams are all over; now what do I do to occupy my brain? Worry about the results?"

Families Worldwide has come up with an innovative idea to help teenagers de-stress after their exams. We have set up a series of special family adventure holidays departing in early July which are ideal for families who have just weathered the strains of sitting GCSEs or ASs.

These holidays, are designed to provide some initial relaxation, physical stimulation and mental diversion from the tunnel vision that revising and sitting the British exam system can all too easily induce.

Another positive to bear in mind is that if your child is taking GCSEs, it means they'll be breaking up early so, probably for the first time in years, you can travel in either late June or early July and avoid the crowds and the peak season airfares.

Conscious of the growing number of families going through exam stress at home, we consulted with educationalists on the design of the holiday. Jan Symes of Hampshire Children's Services said, "There's very little out there to help students overcome exam stress, particularly the fear of failure and the agonising wait for results. A well-designed, timely holiday involving activities where there are no 'right or wrong answers', as well as relaxation, can help to re-build confidence. Adventure travel which discovers a different culture can stimulate lateral thinking and allow teenagers to understand that life is as much about 'the journey' as the end result."

Families Worldwide are offering Post-Exam Rejuvenation trips to Bulgaria, Morocco, Sri Lanka, Finland, Tanzania, Zambia, Slovenia, Borneo and Peru.

Prices start from £729 for an 8-day holiday to Morocco's Atlas Mountains.
