Many people say that school is the best time in their life, but for others, it could be among their most difficult times. Many students are actually feeling depressed at school. They need to do homework, write papers, solve complex problems and keep up with reading. Keeping up with house chores and friends can also be quite difficult. School is the actual source of stress and constant pressure of tasks may require a Herculean task. Running the gamut from history to literature to chemistry to mathematics to gym class can be quite overwhelming. Students may no longer consider it as taxing, but school actually feels extortionate. Stress can happen when students feel that there’s no way around this difficult situation.
In reality, both school burden and stress can be turned into something more manageable. The key is to properly prioritize your tasks and figure out things that you need to do first, second, third and so on. Parents should have a direct involvement in ensuring that their children do things based on a list and priority. When something needs to get done, they need to get it done and not do other tasks. If students need to deal with a series of physics equation for homework, parents should make sure that students are committed to do that. Students should be trained and instructed to stay focused until their work is completed. In fact, being able to cross an item from the list is a rewarding thing for children and they can have a constant feeling of achievement, if they do this every day.
The actual study session can be depressing for students and they may need to take a break occasionally. They need to know how to relax for a little awhile during a study session, such as by leaning back and stretching their neck every 20 minutes or so. Every hour, students should stand up and walk for five minutes around the house. If there’s a treadmill in the house, students can walk slightly briskly to ensure good physical activities. It is not a good idea to read in bed, because it will be easier for students to fall asleep. Make sure that the desk has enough space to accommodate all the science books. Make sure that students can be focused until the finish studying. If there’s an empty room in the house, it can be used as a workroom.
Studying in bedroom can be challenging, because computer, TV, mobile devices and bed itself can distract students from continuing. Children can still watch TV and play games, but they should do that only after completing their tasks. They should have the willpower to walk away from these powerful distractions. Relaxation break can be so nice that they spend too long relaxing. It is important to note that by procrastinating, students will fail to complete their tasks. So, it is important for students to make sure that when they are relaxing, it is only to regain their focus and continue studying.
