In the past, some strict teachers might physically punish students, like slapping them or making them stand in the corner. When students faced such punishments, they often talked to friends and family to calm down. Sometimes, they would do fun activities, like fishing in a river or climbing trees to find bird nests. These happy moments helped them forget their bad moods. Mental health wasn’t a big concern back then.
However, today things have changed. If students perform poorly at school and get criticized by the teacher, parents might speak angrily to them later, making the situation worse. Some students don’t know how to handle their negative emotions or don’t have proper ways to relieve their feelings. They feel bad on the way home and end up stuck in a small space of over 100 square meters, under study pressure. If this continues, their negative emotions build up, affecting both their physical and mental health. That’s why modern teachers and parents need to pay more attention.
What Can Parents Do?
1)Be Aware of Their Emotions: Notice if your child is acting differently than usual. Talk to them gently.
2)Empathize with Them: Let your child know that you understand their feelings.
3)Teach Them to Hold Space for Their Emotions: Help them process their feelings in a healthy way.
4)Look at Emotions from Another Point of View: Teach them to see their emotions from different perspectives without judging them.
5)Encourage Them to Own Their Emotions: Help them understand that it’s okay to feel the way they do.
