Things parents need to keep in mind when their children enter their teenage years
In middle school, children begin to be exposed to new subjects, with more and more difficult knowledge. This is also the time when children undergo major psychological changes, so parents need to limit putting pressure on their children.
In kindergarten and primary school, children mostly study and live under the guidance of their parents. Meanwhile, at the threshold of "teen", they begin to have more complex changes in their psychology and physiology with more sensitive and distracted manifestations than before. Children begin to pay attention to many relationships with friends around them and emphasize their own personality, along with being easily distracted and taking their studies lightly.

The general psychology of parents at this time is that they are worried and want their children to quickly get into the routine. Therefore, strict requirements on academic performance at school are used as a measure every time children want to have fun. In addition, their children's bad results are often mentioned or compared with "other people's children".
All the strict actions and words of parents actually come from the desire for their children to improve, but unintentionally become catalysts that create pressure for children. From there, children will form a reflex of not liking to study, stress before exams, and refuse all forms of extra classes and after-school learning. Great pressure affects academic performance and reduces children's passion for learning and exploring new knowledge.
Parents' advice is not always effective for their children, and the period when children are in middle school is that time. Therefore, the advice of teachers, friends, and people young people often contact are the most influential directions. What parents need to do is choose a healthy learning environment for their children, and regularly contact teachers to understand the learning situation.

In addition, parents should not forbid their children from meeting and hanging out with friends, or criticize their children's interests. Parents need to monitor the tastes of puberty and look at the youth as a whole to reconcile their children's interests and gently guide them in the right direction. If there are activities for the whole family, parents should happily suggest and let their children participate to shorten the distance between them.
In fact, many parents think that when their children enter their teenage years, learning combined with games and physical activities is unnecessary. However, this is the stage when children gradually perfect their thinking and personal style. Attractive activities stimulate reflexive thinking, support vocabulary enrichment, and develop children's communication and pronunciation skills.
