Therefore, parents' proactive involvement is key to protecting their children's sustainable future, especially during exam periods when students need to concentrate intensely.

To help children regain initiative, according to the Ho Chi Minh City Center for Disease Control (HCDC), parents should guide their children to break down large goals into achievable daily tasks. This approach helps avoid feeling overwhelmed by a huge amount of information.

Parents can have their children apply the Pomodoro method. This is a popular and effective time management method based on the rule of focusing intensely on studying for 25 minutes, followed by a complete 5-minute break. After 4 consecutive cycles, children should take a longer break of 15-30 minutes to recharge their energy and maintain their learning stamina.

Should children attend summer school?SKĐS - Students nationwide have been on summer vacation for almost a month.

Besides skills, physical health also plays a crucial role. Studies have confirmed that regular exercise combined with adequate sleep provides a solid foundation for teenagers to improve their mood, regulate emotions, and enhance their ability to cope with stress.

Simultaneously, changing one's mindset from within is also crucial. Encourage children to focus on their own progress instead of comparing themselves to their peers, and teach them to view mistakes or poor grades as learning opportunities, not as evidence of failure.

Finally, it is crucial to encourage children to proactively share their school-related difficulties with parents, friends, or mental health counselors from an early age. Understanding and support will help them relieve pressure promptly, preventing temporary stress from accumulating into long-term psychological damage.

Academic pressure can become a motivator when children receive appropriate support; conversely, if this situation persists and exceeds their capacity to cope, the pressure will directly affect their mental health. Therefore, family understanding combined with support from the school is the strongest shield to ensure that school truly nurtures children's dreams.
