How to help children quickly get back into the swing of studying after Tet holiday

(Dan Tri) - Children may find it difficult to return to their old study and living routines after the Tet holiday. Parents need to know how to help their children and the whole family get excited about returning to study and work.

Restore sleep habits

During the holidays, parents can allow their children to stay up late, wake up later, or even sleep in. However, a few days before the child returns to school, parents need to help their children get back into their normal sleep habits. Getting enough sleep and good sleep is essential for children's ability to think and absorb knowledge when they return to school.

To make it easier to get back into a sleep routine, parents can gradually move their child's bedtime and wake-up time up about half an hour each day, until their child is back on track.

Counting down the days until back to school with your child

To make returning to school easier for young children, parents should count down with their children during the last days of Tet holiday.

For children who are able to control their own schedules and activities, parents can gently remind them how many days they have left until they return to school. This will help them know how much time they have left to enjoy the rest of the Tet holiday and also prepare them mentally for going back to school.

Discuss New Year's goals with your child

Before the new school year begins, parents should discuss with their children the goals that need to be achieved. When the Tet holiday ends, parents and children can review the goals that were set at the beginning of the school year to see how far they have come in achieving them 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.

After the first week back to school, the whole family should have some fun activities (Illustration: Freepik).

Prepare all school supplies with your child.

Parents should ensure that their children have all the necessary books and learning materials when they return to school. For young children, parents can prepare some new learning materials to give them before the day of returning to school, so that they feel more excited about going to school.

For children who are already in their teens, parents should give them some books that they find suitable and some cute notebooks.

Make the first morning back to school easier

The first morning back to school can be quite confusing for both parents and children. At this time, children are not as active as usual, even a little sluggish and slow. To avoid children being late for school or family stress, prepare the necessary tasks with your children the night before.

For example, parents should ask their children to arrange their books and school supplies in their bags before going to bed. They should also prepare the uniform or clothes they want to wear on the first day back to school. Parents should prepare breakfast for their children the night before, so that they only need to reheat it the next morning.

If the family is large and the bathroom is easily "overloaded", parents and children should agree on the order of bathroom use, so that members are aware of the time and do not affect other members. Parents should also take their children to school earlier than usual to ensure that they are not late for the first day back to school.

Celebrate with your child after the first week back to the old routine

After the first week of school, the whole family should have some fun activities. Returning to the old routine after Tet holiday can be a little "down" for both adults and children. Having some fun activities as a family will help soften this "down".

At the end of the first week of school after Tet holiday, parents and children can enjoy an evening together watching movies, eating family favorites, or the whole family can go out to have fun.

Parents should agree on this plan with their children from the last days of Tet holiday. When they return to school and feel down, they will have something to look forward to.

Share feelings with children

Even adults feel a little sad when the Tet holiday ends, so it is not surprising that children have mixed feelings about returning to school. They may be excited to see their teachers and friends again, but they may also feel anxious and stressed for a number of reasons.

These emotions are normal, parents should encourage their children to speak out their thoughts and share their feelings with them. Parents should listen to their children patiently. When children feel listened to, they will feel more secure and have more strength to overcome negative emotions or challenges in school.
