To provide parents with a long-term plan for educating their children, with specific and detailed roadmaps, Dr. Vu Thu Huong, a lecturer at Hanoi National University of Education, offers parents a strategy for teaching teenagers during the secondary and high school stages.
According to Dr. Vu Thu Huong, the teenage years are extremely unpredictable due to significant psychological changes. If teenagers’ issues are not resolved properly, they can lead to severe consequences, especially in terms of personality development or negative actions such as dropping out of school, committing suicide, self-harm, or early sexual relationships. Although there are numerous programs for teaching children today, if parents do not thoroughly research them before applying them to their children, it can sometimes do more harm than good.
To help parents effectively and correctly raise their secondary and high school-aged children, Dr. Vu Thu Huong offers 16 notes:
1. Don’t worry about grades
Parents should not focus too much on grades. Overemphasis on this issue can certainly frustrate children and quickly make them angry and rebellious.
2. Help your child create a schedule
This will help children manage their time effectively and scientifically. Research and adjust the schedule to be the most suitable. Once a schedule is established, strictly follow it as accurately as possible. Parents should create conditions for their children to have free time to play and rest. Relaxation, entertainment, and sports are very important and should not be neglected.
3. Don’t push your child into extra classes
Dr. Vu Thu Huong shares that, based on her personal experience and observations, extra classes often do not help children much. Only when children are slightly weak in a subject should you help them, but the best approach is to teach them yourself or hire a tutor. If children are doing well, encourage them and skip any assistance so they can develop confidence.
4. Establish a family rule system and enforce it strictly
In the family, set up a specific set of rules. Anyone who breaks the rules should be punished, regardless of who they are. These rules will help children stay within the reasonable control of the family.
5. Don’t try to control your child
Parents should remember that children who are respected and trusted will always strive to maintain that trust, causing fewer problems. On the contrary, the more they are controlled, the more likely they are to rebel and do the opposite of what is desired.
6. Talk a lot so your child always shares information with you
When talking, share some of your own stories within limits, and ask for your child’s advice and help. This will build trust and closeness. This will create a natural effect where, at the right time, children will share their own stories with their parents.
7. Be close to your child’s homeroom teacher
If your child has a problem, share honestly with the homeroom teacher and ask for help. However, if there are secrets that your child wants to keep, you should absolutely keep them.
8. Don’t read your child’s diary or question their friends
Because it is their privacy, if parents violate this right, children will become increasingly frustrated and distant from their parents.
9. Negotiate with your child before making decisions
Whatever you do with your child, negotiate and let them choose how to proceed and ask for written commitments. Negotiate penalties and consequences if the commitment is violated. When an incident occurs, simply follow the pre-negotiated terms.
10. Always treat your child as an adult in discussions and don’t impose anything on them
11. When parents are wrong, they should sincerely apologize and accept the punishment
Parents should never justify or deny their mistakes. The more serious adults are, the more children will respect and admire them, learning from their example.
12. Discuss the future with your child and point out the pros and cons of each option. Respect your child’s choice
13. When your child is having problems, observe and let them handle things on their own, but be ready to offer advice if asked
14. If you have difficulty dealing with your child, seek help from experts immediately
15. Continuously provide careful sex education
For teenagers, sex education needs to be carefully considered by parents. Being close, sharing, and empathizing are good methods to stay informed about your child’s situation.
16. Character determines everything
Parents should pay special attention to observing and educating their child’s character above all else. Falling behind in studies for one or two years can be made up, but poor character and behavior will have a very negative impact on your child’s entire life.
VSCHOOL WITH THE PHILOSOPHY: CARING AND TEACHING MUST BE APPROPRIATE TO EACH STAGE OF PSYCHOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT OF STUDENTS
VSchool understands that secondary and high school years are extremely sensitive and important. Parents should not be complacent if they only observe outward behavior because your child might be hiding something you don’t know. However, don’t be overly worried and control them too much, which can make children tired, frustrated, and stressed. Listening and sharing, being close and empathetic are always the best ways to educate, nurturing the best character.
