I think junior high school students are the most pitiful group of students. Not just because I am a parent of a junior high school student, but I have the most intuitive feeling. Since my son entered junior high school, he wakes up at 6 o\’clock every day, arrives at school at 7 o\’clock, and studies for 12+ hours. When he returns home, he continues to work hard, hurrying up and going slowly, and it is often close to 11 o\’clock when he turns off the lights and falls asleep. On the one hand, there is no way to learn too much knowledge, and on the other hand, there is never enough sleep. I feel sorry for the children who are in the period of physical development, but I dare not lie down in the turbulent educational environment. What I look forward to most every day is: Come on weekends and let your children have a good night’s sleep. Struggling between childlike innocence and taking exams, my son usually puts down his books when he comes home from school, washes his hands and eats fruit first. I discovered a detail: when I invited my son to come to the table to eat fruit, he must first go to the toy cabinet, take out a small model car with handles, and then play with it while eating the fruit. Before doing this, I would have asked him: Eat as much as you want, play as much as you want, and don’t do two things at once. But now, I generally ignore my son\’s actions and treat them as tacit approval. Because, in addition to eating, he can also touch his toys. On study days, it is really difficult to have his own play time. These are the poor junior high school students, a group of children who are making the final struggle and compromise between childlike innocence and exam-taking. The battle between homework and sleep Although I made a mental preset for junior high school life before entering school, when I really entered the gate of junior high school, in addition to the special care of the teacher on the first day, starting from the second day, the regular pattern of junior high school was completely crushed. The mind of a child. When I was in elementary school, although Chinese, mathematics, and English were the three main subjects, English was often bypassed. But in junior high school, the language, mathematics, science, science (physical, chemical, and biological) and social (historical, authentic) were overwhelming. In the first week, my son came home and shouted dissatisfied: This teacher is really serious, there are so many homeworks in Chinese and mathematics, why is the homework not reduced at all in other subjects? He misses his Chinese class teacher very much when he was in elementary school. Whenever there was a lot of math homework, the amount of Chinese would always be reduced, so that the children could get enough sleep first. They just came out to mix, so they are a bit tender after all. I told my son: From now on, put away your fantasies. There will no longer be any detours from anyone. Everything is the main course, and everything is the key point. Several homework assignments were completed in turn, and it was ten o\’clock in a flash. \”Time\” became a luxury and \”adequate sleep\” became a luxury. It would be a lie to say that you don’t feel distressed when you see your baby burning the midnight oil. What to do? Learning in advance is the only way out. It\’s not for the chicken baby, it\’s just to help the baby share the pressure of studying in junior high school. For example, if you memorize classical Chinese in advance, it only takes ten minutes to review it. If you start from scratch, you may not be able to win it in one night. For example, in mathematics, if you train your calculations so smoothly, it will take others half an hour to calculate, but your child can easily do it in ten minutes, and everything is correct. For example, in historical geography, others are still understanding longitudes, latitudes, and historical dynasties, but your child knows all about the historical events and historical figures of each strait, each dynasty, and the work efficiency is improved, doesn\’t it save time? Survive in resistance and compromise. The reason why junior high school students are the most pitiable is because: compared with primary school students, although junior high school students still retain the playful nature of primary school students, they can no longer enjoy primary school.Such pure play. Compared with high school students, junior high school students appear to be more conflicted. After years of hard work, most high school students have adapted to the rhythm of exam-oriented education and can face heavy learning tasks more calmly. Not only do they want to retain the happiness of childhood, but they also have to face the increasing academic pressure. Junior high school students are in an awkward transition period. Their inner world is full of helplessness, \”they want to resist, but they don\’t dare to resist, and they can\’t.\” Some children try to resist and complain about their dissatisfaction with reality through mobile games and short videos. However, a \”high school entrance examination\” with no room for error and no way back makes every child and parent walk on thin ice. Giving junior high school students the final bottom-line protection Junior high school students are entering puberty again, and multi-pronged pressure has led to frequent problems for junior high school students. As parents, we are powerless to change the status quo and can only provide the final bottom line protection for our children. Get as much sleep as possible. For junior high school students, adequate sleep is a luxury, but giving children as much sleep time as possible is crucial for children to cope with heavy academic pressure. If not necessary, answer one less question; if possible, let the child sleep for ten more minutes. It is fundamental for children to have sufficient physical strength to cope with learning. Don\’t let fatigue be the price of your child\’s growth. Try to eat as rich a diet as possible, which has a certain stress-reducing effect. In addition to intense study, providing children with nutritious and balanced food can not only supplement the energy they need, but also relieve the pressure caused by study to a certain extent. Things to note: Avoid too much junk food. Give as much physical activity as possible. After all, junior high school students are humans, not machines. Throwing yourself headlong into learning will force you into problems sooner or later. After studying, be sure to give your children the opportunity to go out for sports or get in touch with nature, play basketball, football, or climb mountains, so that they can release the study pressure of the week so that they can better devote themselves to the study of the new week. Even if you have to work on weekends, your children can’t have a week off. Exercise can not only keep fit, relieve stress, but also cultivate children\’s perseverance and play a positive role in their growth. Junior high school is an important turning point in a child\’s academic career. Although the child seems to have been pressed on the accelerator button, as parents, we must try our best to help our children find a balance between growth and test-taking. Even helping a child catch his breath occasionally is, in a sense, an important aid.
