Question
A seventh-grade student has been living at a tutoring class for over two months. In the past twenty days, they have started crying due to homesickness, unable to focus on studying, and have not had any unpleasant encounters with classmates or teachers. How should this situation be handled?
Answer
Hello, based on your description, the student is currently in the adolescent phase, a time often accompanied by emotional fluctuations. It is suggested to allow the student to return home during weekends to communicate more with family members and for parents to provide more care. This may help alleviate the student’s sense of unease. At the same time, it is recommended to have more communication with teachers and students, understand the reasons deeply, and help the student gradually adapt to the environment. In necessary cases, seeking professional help from a regular hospital’s psychological department may be considered.
