After the Tet holiday, many children tell their parents: 'I'm so bored, I have to go to school tomorrow!'. Many children are still taken on spring trips by their parents after the Tet holiday.

Ms. NHT, 40 years old, living in Binh Thanh District (HCMC), said she has two children - one in 7th grade, one in 4th grade. After the Lunar New Year holidays, both children were very tired when they remembered that they had to go to school tomorrow (February 3). From February 2, she started to adjust her routine, let the two children rest at home and planned to put them to bed early.
According to Dr. Nguyen Quoc Cuong - Department of High Quality Clinic - Psychology of Children's Hospital 2, after a long break, children may encounter difficulties, feel confused, tired or suffer "psychological shock" when returning to school.
Dr. Cuong advises families to remind children about school. Start reminding children about going to school 3-5 days before the end of the holiday. Parents should talk to children about interesting things at school such as meeting friends, teachers, or fun activities. Tell children about familiar activities at school, this helps children feel familiar and excited.
Parents can help their children maintain a regular routine before returning to school, such as gradually adjusting their schedules 2-3 days before school starts. This will help children adapt to their previous routine more easily; encourage children to do things on their own, such as preparing school supplies and eating breakfast on time, so that they can remember their daily routine.
In addition, parents should ask their children if they feel anxious, nervous or excited about going to school. It is necessary to relieve anxiety, gently find out the cause and reassure children, instead of scolding, helping children understand that the feeling of unfamiliarity is normal and will pass quickly when they meet friends and teachers again.
Packing your child's books, backpacks, checking their uniforms, or preparing a new item (like a pen or a box of crayons) can also help make them look forward to going to school.
Children often need time to reintegrate after a long Tet holiday.
According to Dr. Nguyen Quoc Cuong, children often need time to reintegrate after a long break, but with careful preparation and support from parents, children will quickly regain their learning rhythm. It is important that parents be patient and create a positive atmosphere so that children feel confident and excited to return to school.
