Parents are always with you!

Before the 10th grade entrance exam in Ho Chi Minh City, in groups, many parents wrote letters to students with words of encouragement and love.

"We know that you are under a lot of pressure these days - from exams, from admissions, from the expectations you set for yourself. We don't want to put more pressure on you, but in life, sometimes it is the pressure that helps us grow - as people say: Without pressure, there are no diamonds." This is a letter from a parent to the parent-student group of Nam Sai Gon Primary - Secondary - High School (District 7, Ho Chi Minh City) shared by the children.

Perhaps anyone whose child is entering this important "first battle" in life can understand the anxiety and pressure of their children. The brain-numbing review hours at school, the rushed study sessions at the exam preparation center. The piles of review books, the previous years' exam questions waiting for the children to solve for reference... The children are "overwhelmed" trying to absorb and fill in the last "gaps" of knowledge in the general education program.

The first 10th grade entrance exam of the new generaleducation program with new question formats, many changes in materials, integrated knowledge closely following reality... makes not only students but also teachers bewildered and unpredictable. This is the time when children need to focus the most on consolidating the knowledge they have learned, test-taking skills and especially a comfortable, confident spirit. Perhaps this is the time when the "little tigers" need the most encouragement and love from their parents.

"The entrance exam only comes once in a lifetime - so your parents don't expect you to get the highest score, don't force you to be the best, but they hope you will do your best, to the best of your ability. No matter what the result is, you will always be our child. Still the son that I trust. Still the daughter that I always hope for. Still the beloved child of my mother..." - a parent confided.

Let's take a moment and look at your child's future path ahead with many twists and turns. This is just your child's first step, don't let your child worry too much, feel pressured, and then feel disappointed and negative when the results are not as expected.

Parents writing letters to their children and giving them words of encouragement is a precious thing, a warm spiritual gift for their children to bring not only into the exam room but also on their journey to adulthood...
