Childhood mental health, academic pressure, and behavioral-v

Overview

Research and expert observations highlight the critical importance of psychological well-being and emotional regulation in early childhood. Studies indicate that self-efficacy is a primary factor in mental health, often developed through daily personal achievements. Experts emphasize the need for vigilant monitoring of behavioral shifts, noting that childhood depression may manifest as irritability, social withdrawal, or difficulty concentrating.

As new school years begin, the intersection of mental health and academic pressure remains a central concern. Data from UNICEF Vietnam and the OECD show that approximately 65% of 15-year-olds in OECD countries worry about math grades, while one in five Vietnamese adolescents face mental health challenges. To mitigate anxiety, experts suggest parents celebrate individual progress rather than comparing children to others. Additionally, families must navigate the rising financial costs of education, such as the estimated 450–500 million VND required for a four-year university degree in Vietnam.

In response to recent incidents involving weapons in schools, specialists are refining how parents identify emotional crises or potential tendencies toward violence. While isolated anger or peer conflict may not be definitive, experts warn of broader patterns including intense, uncontrollable anger, persistent threatening speech, expressions of hopelessness, and school refusal. Elif Türel, Head of the Child Care and Youth Services Department, notes that behaviors must be evaluated within the context of a child’s age and developmental stage. Professionals advise parents against labeling children as ‘dangerous’ based on single incidents, recommending instead that they focus on understanding a child’s emotional response to media consumption and social environments.
