Psychologist Batuhan Toprak warned parents about how to evaluate the semester break. Stating that families should not evaluate their children according to the grades on their report cards, Toprak said, "Instead of punishing your children, teach your children "You should confront them and talk to them by showing that you value them. Why did this happen this semester? What is the reason for the decline in your grades?" They should investigate these. Yes, your grades have dropped this semester, but they should motivate them by saying, "I believe you will increase your grades in the second semester." Psychologist Batuhan Toprak, who stated that he will take classes, said, "Of course, this course and private lessons are important and necessary. But it is wrong to exclude this semester break from its purpose. If it is a holiday, the student should experience it as a holiday. Because no matter how old a human being is, a holiday is necessary. Vacation is a psychological need. The attitude of families is very important during this period when there is no school going. They generally make their children take extra lessons and send them to study centers. The reason for this is how can children increase their net worth and be more successful in the next semester? They are after this. Well, does success mean, or rather, success in life, only means being successful in the academic field? 'Is this enough?' It is important for your child to do the activities and hobbies they enjoy during the semester break. You can even go on a few-day vacation together as a family. "In this way, a decrease in children's stress and anxiety is observed. Accordingly, children start the second term in a more motivated way," he said. "One mistake families make is this; "Study, my son/daughter, study, study, study," said Psychologist Batuhan Toprak and continued his explanation as follows: "Of course, families say this for the good of their children, but this attitude is wrong. The important thing is to find a balance here. Yes, studies should be done, but social activities should also be done. This should be put in order and programmed. During the semester break, they can both study for their lessons and do the activities they love while protecting their mental health. The attitudes of some families are as follows. It is in the desert; Your child's success in studies is sufficient for the overall success of his life. This attitude and way of thinking is also wrong."
