How Countdown to School Helps Children Overcome 'School Syndrome'

The winter vacation is coming to an end.

Li Xue, deputy chief physician of the Department of Child Psychiatry at Peking University Sixth Hospital, told the China Youth Daily and China Youth Daily that "School Opening Syndrome" is not a medically diagnosed disease, but many children are indeed prone to these problems after school starts

A "buffer period" of 1-2 weeks can be planned before the start of school

Li Xue believes that the child is not comfortable with returning to school because after a holiday break, he suddenly feels pressure after school starts

Another situation that corresponds to this is that there are many "chicken baby" parents, even during the holidays, they arrange their children's schedules very "full", supervise their children's learning every day, and arrange various training camps for their children.

So, what should parents do to help their children overcome “discomfort at school”? Li Xue believes that parents can plan a "buffer period" of 1-2 weeks before the start of school to help children slowly adapt to life after school and reduce the impact of school pressure on children's psychology

First of all, parents can start by helping their children adjust their work and rest time

Secondly, before the start of school, parents can help their children to review and preview in advance, so that children can restore the habit of learning

Before school starts, parents can also encourage their children to take the initiative to resume contact and chat with good classmates through phone calls, WeChat and other methods

In addition, after returning to school, children may experience some changes in the class, such as seat adjustment, re-election of class cadres, etc.

Use the "adaptation period" before the start of school to cultivate children's self-management skills

Li Xue especially pointed out that the "adaptation period" before the start of school is also a good time to exercise children's self-management and self-planning abilities.

It should be noted that the tasks assigned by the parents to the children must conform to the actual ability of the children, and the children are able to complete them

Li Xue introduced a little trick that can mobilize children's enthusiasm-parents make a plan for themselves while assigning tasks to their children, so that children can see that they are also completing tasks according to the schedule

Li Xue explained that the process of parents accompanying their children to complete tasks is also a process of teaching by words and deeds.

What is efficient and quality companionship? Li Xue said that it is to communicate sincerely with the children, respect each other, treat the children as independent individuals, and share their experiences and experiences with the children on an equal footing
