4 tips to help children get back into the swing of going back to school after Tet

After the long Tet holiday, many parents and students have difficulty re-establishing school activities and planning lessons.

The long Tet holiday with lots of fun makes children tired and bored when it comes to schoolwork. The habit of staying up late, waking up late, eating and drinking freely during Tet holidays also makes children tired when they have to wake up early to go to school.

Below are 4 ways to help children get back to studying faster after the Lunar New Year holiday, parents can refer to them.

Share feelings with children

Not only children, but also adults feel a little regretful when the Tet holiday ends. Therefore, parents should encourage their children to speak out their thoughts and share their feelings when they are about to return to school.

Some children may be excited to see their teachers and friends again, but they still cannot help but feel anxious and stressed for some reason. Parents should listen to their children with patience.

Because when children realize that their words are being listened to, they will feel more secure and have more strength to overcome negative emotions or challenges when returning to school after a long break.

Discuss New Year's goals

Before the new school year begins, parents should discuss with their children the goals that need to be achieved. Parents and children can review the goals that were set at the beginning of the school year to see how far they have come and if there is anything that needs to be changed.

Talk openly and honestly with your child about their thoughts, feelings and worries. This will help them feel more confident about returning to school.

Rebuilding sleep habits

During the Tet holiday, children may stay up late, wake up later than usual and even "sleep in", but a few days before children return to school, parents need to rebuild their children's sleep habits. Getting enough sleep and having a good night's sleep helps children's ability to think and absorb knowledge when they return to school.

To make it easier to establish a sleep routine, parents can gradually move their child’s bedtime and wake-up time up by 20 minutes, then 30 minutes, then an hour. When the child returns to their old routine, parents can stop.

Have fun but don't forget your duty

During the Tet holidays, parents should remind their children to spend some time reviewing their lessons in the evening no matter how much fun they have. However, parents should not impose or order their children to do too much homework, but instead encourage them to do this work.

Parents can sit down and study with their children and give them compliments. It is common for children to be negligent and neglectful in their studies. Parents should not get upset or angry with their children, as this will ruin the happy and lucky atmosphere of the New Year.
