As the school year comes to a close, students across all grade levels—whether they’re completing final projects, preparing for exams, or looking ahead to new beginnings—can benefit from extra encouragement at home.

In the spirit of the International Day of Families, here are six practical and meaningful ways families can help students stay focused, motivated, and balanced during this important time.

1. Set Shared Goals and Celebrate Effort

Instead of only focusing on final results, talk with your child about their goals—whether academic, social, or emotional. Acknowledge their effort and growth throughout the year, no matter how big or small.

2. Create a Calm and Consistent Study Environment

Designate a shared space at home for study that works for your child’s age and learning needs. Younger children may need help with focus, while older students may appreciate quiet independence.

3. Schedule Balanced Routines

Help your child maintain a healthy balance between study, rest, screen time, and physical activity. Even a 10-minute walk after school or short family chats over dinner can reduce stress and strengthen connection.

4. Prepare Healthy Study Snacks

Support energy and concentration with nutritious snacks—fruits, nuts, or yogurt can go a long way. Include a cheerful note or motivational quote to add a smile during busy study hours.

5. Reflect Together on the Year’s Highlights

Take time to look back on memorable moments from the school year—achievements, challenges, friendships. You can make a photo collage or simply share stories around the dinner table.

6. Look Forward: What Comes Next?

Encourage your child to think ahead. What are they curious to explore next year? What skills or habits would they like to carry forward? A simple “letter to future me” or goal-setting chat can foster excitement and agency.

Why It Matters

Learning is a journey that extends beyond the classroom. With calm guidance, shared routines, and warm encouragement from family members, students finish the year feeling proud, supported, and ready for what’s next.

随着学年接近尾声，无论是正在准备项目、迎接考试，还是即将迈入新阶段的学生，都需要来自家庭的理解与鼓励。

借着“国际家庭日”的契机，我们为您推荐了6种实用且有意义的方式，帮助孩子们保持专注、动力和平衡，顺利度过这个关键阶段。

1. 设定目标，肯定努力

与孩子一起设定阶段性目标，不仅限于学业，也可以是社交或情绪方面的成长。家长应鼓励他们的付出，无论成果大小，努力都值得肯定。 

2. 打造安静稳定的学习环境

为孩子设立一个适合其年龄与学习方式的专属学习空间。低龄学生可能需要监督与陪伴，而年长学生更适合安静独立的环境。 

3. 规划合理生活节奏 

帮助孩子在学习、休息、屏幕时间和运动之间建立平衡。即使是放学后的10分钟散步或晚餐时的家庭对话，都能缓解压力，增强亲子关系。 

4. 准备健康的学习加油站

水果、坚果或酸奶等营养小食可以帮助孩子集中注意力。如果搭配一句温馨的鼓励语或小纸条，更能在紧张复习中增添一份微笑。

5. 回顾这一学年的精彩瞬间

不妨抽空一起回顾这一年里的高光时刻——无论是收获、挑战，还是友情。可以制作照片拼贴，也可以在饭桌上轻松分享故事。

6. 展望未来，激发期待

鼓励孩子思考对来年的展望。TA想探索哪些新知识？希望培养哪些新习惯？一次亲子聊天，或一封写给“未来的我”的信，都能激发积极心态。 

为什么这么做？

学习不仅在学校，更根植于家庭。家长若能在这一阶段给予温暖陪伴和理性支持，孩子将以更自信的姿态，迈向成长的下一站。
