Stabilize your child's psychology before the 10th grade entrance exam

There are only 2 weeks left until the 10th grade entrance exam, an important exam for 9th graders to choose a suitable public high school. If the exam results are not good and they do not pass the public high school entrance exam, they will have to "change direction" to private high schools, junior colleges, vocational education centers - continuing education centers.

Grade 9 students "sprint" before important exam

The pressure of studying and taking exams makes students feel confused and can even lead to depression. Mr. Phu Tuan (Go Vap District) said that his son is increasingly tired, has irregular eating habits, and often falls asleep at his desk.

Similarly, Ms. Huynh Minh Tuyet (Tan Binh district) shared that recently her child rarely talks to her family, sits doing exam questions until midnight, her face is always tired, and when her parents try to talk to her, she often gets angry.

Worried about whether her child would be in good health and spirit until the exam day, Ms. Tuyet had to ask for advice from colleagues whose children had taken the exam before.

"Everyone suggested that I cook my child's favorite dishes and raise pets to make him happier and more comfortable," said Ms. Tuyet.

Psychological consultant, Dr. Dao Le Hoa An, said that as the exam date approaches, students are more likely to get caught up in uncertainty, fearing that they have not studied enough, that there is still a lot of knowledge to be learned, etc. However, this is not an effective way to review for the exam. To achieve a good "peak performance", students need to pay attention to three main factors: health, spirit and learning ability.

"Students need to get enough sleep 2 weeks before the exam, wake up at the scheduled time for the exam so that their biological clock gets used to that time, and they won't be tired on the day of the exam. In addition, instead of studying alone, students can form a study group at home, which not only creates a comfortable study atmosphere but also allows them to share knowledge with each other" - the psychological consultant added.

For parents, psychological consultant Dr. Dao Le Hoa An believes that showing trust in your child is very important. This is the "golden key" to help your child feel secure, not feel pressured, and their efforts to study are recognized by their parents.

During this time, parents need to create a stable study environment, listen and share more with their children, help their children have a reasonable diet and rest, encourage their children to play sports, etc.
