best cure for nerves?

contributed by Serena 21 Aug | 10:59

When I was little I was part of a swim team. I used to get a bit nervous before competitions so my Dad used to give me a tiny clove and tell me that it would make me swim faster.

It always worked! I realise this was probably all in my head and a total placebo but its a cute trick.

So its that time of year where kids are going back to school and sometimes changing schools so it can be a bit nerve wrecking. I’ve been reading terrible stories of kids completely freaking out so I would definitely recommend this little trick.

If that fails try rescue remedy http://www.rescueremedy.co.uk/ it totally rocks. Put three drops in a bottle of water carry it round with you and be calm for the rest of the day. simple. :)
