Psychological preparation key for students ahead of new school year, expert says
Education specialist Faisal Al-Shadoukhi highlights the importance of preparing students psychologically for the school year and urges families to listen to their concerns.
Education expert Faisal Al-Shadoukhi stresses the significance of psychological preparation for students embarking on the new school year. In an interview with Al-Ikhbariya Radio, Al-Shadoukhi advocated for families to attentively listen to their children's concerns and understand their emotions prior to offering advice. He underscored that mental readiness is crucial across all educational levels, from primary school up to high school.
Though students are typically enthusiastic about reuniting with peers at the commencement of the academic year, they might also encounter anxiety. This apprehension often arises from students' unfamiliarity with the specifics of their new stage, such as unfamiliar subjects and interpersonal dynamics, which can generate unease. Al-Shadoukhi emphasized the pivotal role parents play in alleviating these anxieties.
He recommended that parents elucidate their children's expectations, lend an ear to their apprehensions, and foster open dialogue by soliciting questions about the upcoming school year, rather than immediately providing directives.
