Some people advised her not to be too overprotective, saying that her child was grown up, exams were normal, and that parents doing everything for their children would make them dependent. But she expressed: "I don't study for my child, but I must always care for and support them in any way I can, sharing and encouraging them at the right time. Nowadays, children face countless pressures that their parents' generation never experienced."

She once confided in me that she was genuinely worried every day when she saw the amount of homework her child had. In their final year of high school, the child was constantly attending classes, only occasionally having a game of soccer or basketball. Seeing the child studying so late into the night, the parents urged them to go to bed, but the child said they hadn't finished their homework and felt restless even if they slept, so they had to keep working.
On many forums, some education administrators say the curriculum has been streamlined, but in schools, the vast majority of students still struggle to keep up with the requirements. Many practical math problems are so complex that students break out in a sweat just reading the question, due to the numerous words and tricky scenarios. Students have to work on them repeatedly before they understand.
She also jokingly said, "It turned out to be a good thing that we didn't have the internet when we were kids, because it reduced the pressure of 'peer comparisons' or 'other people's children.' Now, every day on social media, we see people showing off certificates, awards, scholarships, test scores, etc., and seeing all that makes other children even more worried and stressed."
Wishing for their child to have the best possible mindset, the couple always reminded her that learning is a long journey, and that as long as she understands her abilities, finds a scientific learning method, and remains persistent and hardworking, everything will be fine.
I have my path, you have yours, everyone has their own goals, as long as it suits their strengths and the economic conditions of each family. No matter which path you choose, your parents will always be there to support you and create the best conditions for your personal development.
Nowadays, most parents educate their children using scientific and positive methods, drawing on their knowledge and life experiences. Parents teach essential skills while also providing guidance, reminders, and direction for their children's studies and career choices.
However, many parents still don't truly understand or empathize with the worries, difficulties, and hardships their children are going through. Therefore, after each high school graduation exam or entrance exam for grade 10, we often encounter sad stories. Some boys and girls, unable to cope with the pressure of not getting the desired exam scores, have resorted to negative thoughts and actions.
Getting into your dream school isn't easy for all students. Some achieve their goal, others don't. That's normal. As parents, we've all gone through countless exams and understand that one exam doesn't determine a person's success or failure.
Therefore, take care to ensure your children have good health and a strong mental state, showing them that parents are always their support system and that family is the safest haven. A school principal in Hai Phong once advised parents: "The lives of students are still ahead of them; don't let the burden of parental honor, expectations, or joy fall on a child's shoulders. Let children be themselves, explore on their own, and gradually take responsibility for their own lives."
