Recommendations for students facing stress from unmet expectations
Hi, doctors. How best can you recommend a student, who is going through difficult parental and self  expectations. Sometimes students feel suffocated from the workload at school, stress from competition and all the other external factors. 
What are some ways to effectively relieve stress and better manage stress and expectations?

Thank you! :)

Hello! I appreciate how on top of all the stress from the pandemic, students also have to cope with school stress. They need to manage not just their own expectations but those of others.
For their own expectations, it’s good to encourage students to be curious and learn, so they don’t hate school. Rewarding effort is more important than focusing on grades.
For school and parental expectations, it’s important to encourage two-way conversations so the child can benefit. If both sides agree the goal is the child’s education and welfare, unrealistic expectations for each child would be reduced. Every child is unique. 
For external factors including other classmates’ parents and competition amongst various parties, the priority shouldn’t be on managing them. You can only manage your own expectations as the adult, and try to nurture the child.
